do those have struture scan?
gonna go seach a few academy's and if they have any left in getting one today
No, but you can use it with these. That unit is $600+ just for that.
Had the display model in Houma left on Friday(no power cord)
How does the Elite 5 compare to the HDS5??
Was more expensive, but from everything I've heard, it is not as good and it will not accept the LSS-1 if you decide to do that later on.
I was looking at the Elite5 DSI, but the more $ part killed it http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

lowrance just put out a 150 rebate on the LSS1 modules too
If you can find a worker thats not too lazy in academy, they can search all there stores on the computer and tell you were something is.
<table width="90%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=center><tr><td>Quote, originally posted by RogerR »</td></tr><tr><td class="quote">How does the Elite 5 compare to the HDS5??</td></tr></table> The HDS is the top line of the two....you could say the Elite 5 is your basic GPS/Sonar unit....it is not networkable....the HDS 5 can network with other HDS units plus you have other add-on's like the LSS, Sonic Hub, etc. there are still rebates going on for the first generation of HDS units and there are some rebates coming out this week for the Gen 2 units...you can find close out deals plus the rebates and get them for good prices...
<table width="90%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=center><tr><td>Quote, originally posted by MisterE »</td></tr><tr><td class="quote">That unit is $600+ just for that.</td></tr></table> BBG Marine (board sponsor) has it for $549, of course no taxes... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif and with the rebate coming out soon ($150) you could get it for $400....then again there are HDS/LSS bundles they sale where you can save some more $$ off instead of buying them as seperate items...
Well I already bought the Elite 5 in January. Will just us the basic GPS and depth finder. Don't plan on upgrading.
went to both Lafayette academies and neither had any. They did have a Gen1 HDS7 that they wanted $799 for but it was the display so i asked them if i buy the display will they knock any more off it and they said NO. So i didnt buy.
