Well Humminbird has come up with what looks like one excellent unit in the Soltex. The 15 inch version SI sets you back about 3500 and the 12 about 2800.

So I don't expect them to fly out the door.

I am curious if Garmin has a round in the magazine so to speak to respond with. I like both companies so the competition ought to heavily grace us fishermen with some great units
