I have one. It's a great unit, I certainly have no complaints. Comes with pretty decent depth charts for vast majority of the lakes around here too.

I have had mine for a couple of years now and I really enjoy the simplicity of use. You can customize the views, and can use touchscreen or the buttons. It has a ton of features, and the maps are really good too. There are even obscure little lakes that I never thought would be on there. Side finder and down imaging seem really nice. I would highly recommend for sure! I run mine on a 10 ah Marcum Brute lithium battery and it seems to last me a few days on the water before charging.

I have one too. Have had it for two years and use on the water and ice. It is nice, works well. Goes on deep discount a few times a year. I got line for 50% in the fall.

I bought one this winter and love it so far. Nice to have the preloaded maps installed on it. That said take them with a grain of salt.

Any of you rigged yours up for winter with a DIY kit? Picked up a pelican case but haven't had the chance to dig into it yet.

I paid 699 in fall 2021. Cabelas price matched an online gps store from Ontario (need to have a brick/mortar location). Cabelas had it on sale for 799 a few weeks later. I think end of Octoberish.

That was one heck of a deal. I had a look and was impressed. I had to go out of town with the intention of getting one when I got back. Unfortunately sale was over while I was gone (last day or 2).

Thanks for posting

I picked up the 95 on boxing day sale at Cabelas last year for around $880. They seem to put this sale on every box week, if you can wait that long.

Black Fridays are good as well.
