Hey guys, I am looking at getting one of these units and am wanting some honest reviews of it. If you have one or had one I would appreciate any comments. Thanks

I HAVE ONE AND I LOVE IT ,IT IS A GOOD UNIT,HOWEVER I THINK THE NEW HELIX DI IS EVEN BETTER,SO MUCH BRIGHTER.MINE I HAVE 2 DUCERS ,ONE TURN SIDEWAYS TO SEE UNDER DOCKS,CAN SEE BETTER THAN SI AND CAN TELL ABOUT SIZE OF FISH UNDER DOCKS OR IN BRUSH PILES ,THEN KNOW WHEATHER TO STOP OR KEEP GOING,YOU SHOULD LOVE IT

i got one as well, good unit, but as with all units buy the biggest screen you can afford, but the 7'' screen works real well for 2d and gps, if you have plans to add 360 to it i would go bigger
