Helix G4N

[sfw1960]

The Helix 7 will stay G3N but with less options.

Do you know which 7's are going away James John?
I'd guess the MSI & Dual Spectrum would stay, since most would use 1 as a "network monitor" & they're also used for (Dual season) ice machines.

Well some of the info being told here is true, some not so much. I will say, that I can't say much. Lol. Oct 1st is coming soon. Teasers: Not much change. Faster speeds. Saltwater. Still need to wait.

A faster Solix 10 would be perfect for my application, but this phantom Apex might be MORE perfect???

Sounds like a mere minor incremental development. Nothing really new. Which I am ok with because I want whatever live option Humminbird ends up offering but am not ready to ditch my Mega 360 and G3N units yet.

So you had dealer meeting where they went over this new stuff supposedly coming, but you don't have the details and are meeting Humminbird monday? What dealer meeting were you at where you were able to order a lot of graphs?

Phone calls between multiple reps and then I get to meet with them on Monday finally. I’ve been on phone conference calls for a month trying to get my orders in. I’ve got quite a bit locked in but there is no ship date either. The details I’ve posted is what I know for a fact. I’ve got pricing and part numbers on all Helix, Solix, and Apex units.

I haven’t been able to figure out exactly what 7s there still going to be so far. I’m getting limited time going over stuff daily with them on calls.

. Lets the hope the apex turns out to be better than Humminbirds last attempt of a saltwater unit with the ION. Still don't know if they ever really existed

One thing's for sure, Wayne will be all over it...

Looks like it, bye cash, hello new units !

Looks like Santa is going to need some deep pockets this year.

Thanks for the info....I'm closing in on a new boat, timing could not be better. I will run it without electronics and wait for new stuff if I have to for a while. Looking forward to your monday news.

Biggest difference from G3N to G4N is the WiFi and nema 2k coming on helix 8 to 15 units. The Helix 7 will stay G3N but with less options. Solix models are head unit only or MSI version. Apex is the same way geared towards the Salt water market. The new 360s units are called Mega 360 Universal for 1500 dollars. Pricing is pretty much same as G3N stuff but adding in a Helix 15 also

. When you say the new mega 360 universal have you heard what makes it different from the mega 360?

I can’t announce it on a post as we are becoming a board sponsor. We are a Skeeter dealer but pricing is the same on Helix line except the 15 MSI Helix is 3k. Apex 19 is 5k. I usually only stock a few units because Humminbird comes standard on Skeeters still.

From my pricing sheet we still have a Mega 360 for 1200, A new universal aluminum mounted deck style 360 mega at 1500

Well, see what you can scrape up Monday & hopefully you can lay hands on a sheet with a bit of info.
I generally don't bug the folks I do know, and I know some are probably reading this - so if I get a text with info I'm OK with that since it's just my own curiosity; that and I'd like to put a Helix 7 in a 6 gallon bucket for the ice season and maybe put it over the wheel because the 12 MSI blocks the passenger windshield...lol

LOL!!! Kinda reminds me of a line from a Willy Wonka movie, "I want my pony, And I want my pony now!"

I got everything picked out but the Fishfinder/GPS. Everyone has been telling me as long as I have been boat shopping to hold off until October to pick your electronics, but who knows what I will be able to get with the way supply is right now.

Hopefully after 4 generations they will be able to read depth in less than 5 feet of water without locking up.

Will just be happy when there’s Helix 12s in stock to purchase
