I own a 1973 Polar Kraft 14' jon boat that is heavily modified, as far as its original state. I currently have a relatively new Garmin Striker Plus 4 and was knocking around the idea of getting a 10" Solix with mega imaging to put on a new boat in a couple of years. Should a guy wait till he gets the new boat or get it now? would that look out of place on an old jon boat?
If you can afford it, get it. You can always take it off and transfer it to your new boat. jmo
Welcome to the Forum!:welcome
I wouldn’t worry if it looks out of place.
I know lots of people that has more $ worth of electronics than what there boat is worth.
Including myself at times.
Armyman is right get it and use it, you can always move it.
U B right, Redge! My '93 boat is like a T-model with a Hemi on top of it!!Quote:

I'd go for it....
Heck, I have a Helix 10 set up to be portable on my 12' rowboat!
I’m with everyone else. Get it and move it later if needed. I have a Helix 7 on the front and a Helix 10 on the back of my 15’ jon boat.

HB Solex 10 mega is worth the money.

I have a g3 1648 jon with helix Mega 9 SI on back, on the front, helix Mega 10 DI with a 360 mounted to Rickie’s Da Ducer as well as a Hook 5 for mapping on front. Go for it on electronics.
I can post a picture in a week or so, right now it is covered with stuff while reorganizing the garage. :rolleyes:
I would rather have good electronics and T M on a bath tub than a nice boat with without good electronics

I really don't revolve my boating and fishing around what other people think.
On my last rig, I spent more on fishfinders alone than I did the whole boat, and I'm far from the only one.
With the lakes around here, good electronics can mean the difference between not getting a bite and loading the boat. There's a whole lot of dead water.
On my current boat, it took all of about an hour to transfer my main sonar over, doesn't take long at all.
Like most Get it ...and by the time you get another Boat and transfer to it You will be a master on that unit...
I’ve got a Helix 9 SI on a duck boat. Maybe it looks goofy, but I couldn’t care less if someone thinks so. Electronics are worth it.

Dang I didn't know it worked on Ducks ,or is it on diving ducks ....Sorry I just couldn't pass it up ...
Electronics are definitely worth it they come from a Spark to Finding fish and it seems endless...
It’s a do it all boat for sure.Quote:

You need a good DF no matter what you fish out of. Get it now and that will be money you don't have to spend when you get a bigger boat.
