    Well Setting here trying to run down everything before I fly home tomorrow and get my Falcon ordered so figure I run through the list and see if there is anything thing yall think I might be over looking. Now I might have went a little overboard but with no truck payments anymore I can deal with it to get the it set up right off the get go. So here what I have listed so fare:

    F215 Single Console
    Evinrude E-tec G2 250 HO
    Evinrude digital foot throttle
    Evinrude 3.5 Icon Screen
    V6 Rx4 25" Prop
    6" Hydraulic Jack Plate
    G2 Transom Saver
    Fuel Water Separator
    Two Humminbird 12" Solix at the console (non mega)
    Two Humminbird 10" Solix at the bow (Chirp Mega SI GPS)
    Duel Bass Boat Tech Brackets for Bow and Console
    Ethernet Switch

    Did I read correctly that you're only planning on having side imaging at now? Why not at console for idling around and mapping?

    with the solix all you need is one unit to have Chirp Mega SI. If it network to a base unit solix it will share it software so every unit will have Chirp Mega SI. So its cheaper to buy the two 10" with everything and then just go base unit for the 12". The reason i am still doing two full 10" units is its a $300 price difference from everything to base. But I would have to buy a 2nd Mega SI transducer which is $400. So its cheaper doing it this way.

    With the 18'' spider wheels you get...........nothing. They just look cool! You're loading your boat up. Might as well give it some extra bling. That's what I did anyway. I would recommend the optional ez loader trailer, even if you go with the base trailer. It's just a nicer trailer with some extra features the MM doesn't. But, if your dealer doesn't request it, they won't get it. They also have a couple extra base trailer wheel options that the MM doesn't give you. Just a thought.

    Those Solix are power hungry units, might want to consider a second battery for electronics.

    With that set up your going to have to run a transducer from the back to the bow for them to share with the 12s. You might already know that, I'm just making sure.

    Kry29 I did not know this. I thought I understand it that, Solix works like my Onixs. I could have a single SI unit and have it networked to a base model and with them connected they share software. Then I am able to hook up a non SI unit to a SI transducer and able to read the information from that transducer on the base model. If I am wrong Ill spend the $ and get one Mega 10 and 12 rather then the two 10s
