Competition is good! But in a nutshell, if it took you years and millions of dollars to develop a product, put it on the market, and then someone copies your exact product, you wouldn't be happy. That's the purpose of patent laws. Without the laws,there wouldn't be any reward for companies to invest their dollars or their time in developing new products. Our depth finders would still be a rock and a string.

That's a great thing that Lowrance is twice as good. I'm sure all the folks waiting for customer service answer the phone or take care of their faulty products take solace in that they are twice as good. After 2 incidents with 2 separate Lowrance products, I switched. To each his own.

To say Lowrance and MotorGuide were caught with their pants down by Humminbird/Minn Kota would be a huge understatement. The SI birds and Auto pilot Kota's IMO has left the other boys in the dust. Lowrance is trying to play catch up though. I believe if MG wasn't owned by Mercury, they would have folded up by now.

Why? Let me guess, because you have one and so it would have to be better.
