I am thinking about getting a Lowrance Elite 7 HDI and would like to know if I have to pay extra for the transducer. I hope to hear from someone who has purchased this unit. Im trying to figure what the total cost will be. The transducer that I need is listed for $119.99 in the BP catalog. OUCH!!
I looked at the BPS website, and I got the impression that the TD is included in prices on the two versions I saw (non gps and gps). Most if not all of the lowrance models like this do include the TD. you can buy the HDS models w/o a TD if you plan on hooking them into a network, and you use the same TD for both HU's. Call Lowrance and confirm it tho.
There are several ways to buy the Elite-7. Send http://www.crappie.com/crappie/membe...bbgmarine.html a PM asking about pricing, he'll hook you up.
I bought one two weeks ago from Cabela's. It's the chartplotter with DI and it comes with the transducer. Total price was $699
Brian at bbgmarine will beet that price and give you alot of insight on the unit. Bought one from him when he first got em and love it. 888-570-0916
Thanks to everyone. I talked To Brian At BBG Marine last week about the availability of the Elite 7x (2d and DI) only and they are not out yet but he said he would send me a notice when he gets them in. When he does I will order the one with the HDI Skimmer Transducer 83/200/455/800 kHz. Im hoping its a deal that the transducer of your choice comes with the unit.
