Kind of crazy, to me anyway, that Carbons are old hat already.
My boat has been laid up with restoration work. I bought Carbon 9s about 2 years ago, probably, actually hard to remember at this point, as ridiculous as that is. Just getting everything set to get back on the water this summer. So none of my electronics have seen use yet. Nice to look at on a boat, and that's it. With so many other things going on, I haven't paid much attention to electronics. I am going to just run with I have at this point, just excited to get back on the water, but I wanted to ask how much improvement there is in transducers compared to what I have now.
Mainly in regard to the totalscan unit I was planning on using. Back when I got the carbons, one just came with and I figured I'd run it rather than the LSS2 I have. I also have an Airmar P79 in the floor of my bilge area. On the TM, I just have a HDI.
I see some of the images from SS3D equiped boats and they are amazing, and it also looks like a lot of fun to use equipment like that. I guess what I'm getting at is how aggravated might I get with the totalscan? I'm certainly planning on and willing to work at it. With my carbons, if a guy could get a SS3D unit and transducer for $5-600, worth it and good to go for a while?
Also, with the head units, what's the status on updates right now? Where should they be with regard to updates? I doubt they are current.
Thanks
