With foam be sure to use closed cell, not open cell. Many
Home Insulation companies can spray foam for you

Looking at the new Lowrance HDS Live, might be the direction I go

Smart troll is another option, no downrigger needed

too good to be true Humminbird Helix 10 for $129.....

I still cant decide between the Lowrance carbon 9 and the Humminbird Solix 10 mega SI. 

One question is if I get the Airmar ducer for either unit is there a port to hook it up without loosing the side or down scan

If you fall out of your tree stand this will gently lower you to the ground. Its a rope system that deploys when you leave your perch, then like rock climbing you can lower yourself down. I bought it but never used it as I gave up tree stands for ground blinds. They were pricy so that is why I think they never took off big but looks to be the safest thing you can have especially if your a high hunter. Tree stands do fail and falls happen.

I would like to get it to a hunter on this site so $50 shipped to your door.

This is nice, I agree, it’s just too big for my 19’ dash area, thats one reason the carbon 9” is better for my application

raise the bunks, full load on them, rollers are only there to keep the boat from hitting the frame

Deer Search if a shot goes bad, we may be able to find it

I'll let you guys know how it turns out but according to some folks who should know the Airmar TM-260 installed correctly on high end sonar units will enable me to id fish/bait at search speed. That's what I'm shooting for with my HDS 12/ TM 260 combo, guess I'm not really interested in any thing less than that

for me....asking myself the same questions you are.  Not enough.   If I had a large glass boat that I was putting a through hull on 10 feet up from the transom perhaps I'd think differently. 

What does the Airmar do better than the stock skimmer ducer

I think I'm going lowrance carbon 9, mostly due to size compared to the Helix, they are pretty big for the same screen. My next question is get a factory transducer or an Airmar, don't need side scan but I guess it nice to have. Most fishing ontario trolling, erie trolling, casting and jigging

It was the only one, I stop in there every few weeks for something and saw it, glad someone on here was able to grab it

For the life of me I cant find how to apply for my doe permits on line. I have a lifetime license but I don't get an option for the DMP's. Do you have to go in person to apply?

thanks Scott

How about a very good clean used Lowrance LCX-113C HD with a BRAND new Airmar transom mount ducer.

I doubt anything you have now will perform much better with just a new transducer. Most of the benefits of the new units are a combination of better/faster processing along with a better transducer. CHIRP is in the headunit so a new transducer wouldn't get you CHIRP in an old unit. However, MEGA imaging is in the transducer, but a MEGA transducer will not provide a non MEGA headunit with the MEGA imaging.

I miss spoke, I will be upgrading both and all you mention is a must. A lot of units I see come with the transducer, so I do want to look at a unit with a tducer as an option then maybe go Airmar w it.

You should be able to find a decent unit for 1k, ( don’t listen to those Furuno guys lol) then get some new fishing gear at January’s expo with the other 1k. Tell her it came as a package lol.

That January show gets me every year, last year it was Smart Troll. I agree to the $1K but want to look a little higher, maybe its the t ducer that is the best upgrade, I don't know at this point.

What kind of boat/motor? What kind of fishing? Any other functions you want (ie. side/down imaging, autopilot, engine monitoring)?

9” screen size is good

Looking for a new fish finder, and the boss says not a penny more.

What do you recommend

Thanks Scott
