    starting to see garmin units

    Starting to see Garmin units for sale on the here. Some of these units are old and people act like they just came out.. I know people can ask what they want but if you want to sell it price it to sell. I am going to seel mine soon but will wait till I see more people using livescope and there thoughts.

    I’m keeping my 93 SV’s and will be adding a 93SV plus model to the bow for live Scope. Then take my ps22 and add it to the stern. I agree about what folks are asking for a used unit.

    how do you like the 93sv? I am thinking about getting the 93sv plus but have never seen one. I have the 1040xs and like but it's old and will not do livescope.

    I have talked myself out of upgrading. My system is tuned to what exactly I want. Find fish asap. Lots of the older equipment going on sale now. Guys wanting to upgrade asap. I took a deep breathe reflected on it and determined to keep what I got.

    The 93SV is a fantastic unit. Easy to use and adjust.

    I am with you on this. Two 1040s a 741, gt30,ps30,ps21,gt22. That’s enough. My only disappointment with this system has really been my ps30. I wanted it for vertical jigging but just doesn’t work that well with small lures or fish close to the bottom. Sometimes I wonder if I could have a bad ps30 from what others have said but how would I really know without another one to compare it to? Has anybody had any experience with this? Garmin warranty/replacement?

    Maybe I should check with Garmin in this. My ps21 markets lures much better than my ps30. My ps30 has always been like this but is rolling up on a year old maybe could still warranty it?

    I sent my GT30 in under warranty. It just did not seem right but had nothing to compare it to also. Garmin fixed me up with a new under warranty. Works great

    Your gt30 was bad right from new or went bad? I suppose they must have some way to test these things at Garmin?
