Anyone have a hand held gps for rent or loan?

Doing the MR340 next week. I was intending on using my fish finder with gps, but the battery I have only last 4-5 hours max and getting bigger is not an option. Besided, the unit and battery already causes me a weight penalty. I'm already at the end of my budget for this adventure and don't really want to buy one NOW although I will buy one in the future since I'd like to keep up with this new hobby.

I'm willing to place a deposit or sign an agreement to replace if lost, damaged, or otherwise harmed.

Would this work. Attachment 131298

Maybe we trade in exchange for wearing a crappie.com shirt/hat at these events. hmmm...

The only C.C shirt I have is from MO camp 2012 and it is cotton. I can't wear cotton doing over 50,000 paddle strokes without serious chaffing issues. All synthetic attire for this gig. Thanks for the offer anyway.

I'll include a synthetic shirt too.

look here
Crappie.com Tournament/Performance Short Sleeve Shirt

Who can refuse that offer!! What is the cost to me other than wearing it as much as possible and getting in front of the news cameras and having the wife take my picture in it with all the MR340 signage and what about a sticker or two for the boat to pimp the site?

The only thing you have to promise is to have big smiles in the pictures, and of course to post them.

Tell me what color decals will work best. I'll need your address PMed to me as well.

Slab is the MAN!!!!

No doubt. Will do and will definitely post the pics. Hey, the shirt matches the boat for when I'm fishing when this gig is over. Black decals will show up on the white kayak the best. A shout out to Jr/Deb for their offer as well. Great community we have here.

For sure...Just seen these. Look like a pretty good deal, gonna have to order a couple.

This site is GREAT!! Now we have two of the same unit from the two offers to this thread. This way, while in radio range, she can see where I am on the river. That's nice since there are so many other boats and we don't stop when the sun goes down. Thanks again, Slab and Hooin'n'Cookin!! I could have bought a set, but I thought that the Elite5dsi gps would work so I bought one. The old Lowrance x4 Pro on the fishing kayak would run for days and days and the battery would barely need charging. These dsi/gps units suck that same battery dry in a few hours. Since I already blew the $$ and the wife is already nononoabout the funds I didn't want to breach he subject of buying more stuff. Thanks again, folks!!

Good luck,,:cheers2

you will be very easy to spot now when you roll into st.charles

Nice job Slab! Yeah, you have to post a picture with the shirt on too!! I ordered one of those shirts last week, great fishing gear!

You had the JADA shirt at camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:Rofl I hope you have a safe trip and finish well. :cheers2

NO cotton!! Thanks. There are some really good people on earth. When taking on something like this it is humbling to ask and receive help from strangers and those you've only briefly met. 1. Loaner Gps (multiple offers), shirt, and swag. 2. Offer of a place to stay in the St. Louis area if I have to wait on a ride home. 3. Offer of mule service to drop a box of food/water at the check point in Glasgow or Miami depending on how Lisa's mom is doing by Sunday evening. When all we usually hear about is the ****-heads in the world, it is refreshing to experience the good that out weighs and out shines the darkness.

Box arrived. Pictures forthcoming.

Lots of great people on here to help others out and that starts at the top of the food chain with Slab. Gordon I have several of the MO CDC state outline decals if you need some. Gordon you are good with words and I feel/expect a story for the CDC main page coming on after this event. Should be some great highs and lows to write about from your adventure down the river. I believe Tom and/or his Crappie Masters partner had the blue shirts on. They look good and should do you well going down river. If it is something you end up wanting to do again I know a place to get you long sleeve jersey's done for the right price. May be able to pick up a sponsor or two to off set some cost. Once again best of luck and stay safe.

Good Luck on your trip now that Slab and others have set you up on the gps and CDC equipment. Will be waiting for the report that Slab & Jared are expecting.:popcorn
