    Thinking of buying used fish finder

    Good idea to buy used fish finders?

    Not a lot of money and want to get some Lowrance devices.
    Trying to decide if I should buy 2 of the HDS Gen3 , 1 or 2 two Carbons or 1 Live.

    Wanting one 12" and one 9" if possible.

    I purchase all of my electronics from this forum, or Texas Fishing Forum. I have always had good results. My opinion is at least the Carbon units.

    Nothing wrong with buying used units. I would recommend buying the newest model unit you can afford. Not sure how much longer Lowrance will be providing software updates/support for some of the older models you listed. Give Steve a call at BFE. He’s a board sponsor and always has nice used units available.

    I've bought some used, sold some, never had any issues. Any brand preference? I have a Lowrance HDS Live 12 I am thinking about selling.

    I would be getting a Lowrance.
    Shoot me a PM if you decide to sell.
