So you basically saved $100 on the unit after removing the tax. Not a bad deal at all. I need some more BPS giftcards!

It's perfect!

If I do buy in the US, I won't be getting it shipped to Canada. It will be shipped to NY and I'll bring it over myself. I'll definitely get dinged with duty/tax if I shipped a $1300 sonar here. Then there's no point, I should just buy it here. All my savings would go down the drain.. I just dropped quite a bit of money at Radioworld, maybe they'll swing me a deal on the Humminbird... I guess the only thing they could say is no

I've bought a few high ticket items in the US, no real big surprises when getting to the border. For some stuff it's not worth it (Minn Kotas for example) but unfortunately the prices down there for sonar units is quite a bit lower then what you'll find up here. I'll see what a Canadian retailer can swing for me, if they can't then I'll just grab it in the US..

$1500 + tax.. That's the first place I checked because I bought my trolling motor from them... The killer here is the extra 13% on top... I'm not expecting a retailer here to lose $$$ on the deal. I'll give a Jos a ring as well, thanks fellas. Like I said, I'd much rather buy it on this side of the border.

Hey guys, looking at upgrading the electronics on the boat. Specifically looking at the Humminbird 898c HD SI to go along with the I-Pilot Link equipped Terrova I just picked up.. From what I've seen, I'll be dropping close to $400 more to purchase the same unit up here as I will in the US. I'm all for supporting Canadian vendors, but not to the tune of an extra $400 out of my pocket. I've been looking around for the past few weeks and it looks like I can get the unit I'm after for just under $1300 US. If anyone can give me some suggestions on some Canadian retailers I should check out, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm wondering which bridge the OP was fishing under, lol.

FYI, you cannot renew online unless your licence expired last year (ie 2012) Only thing I could do is purchase a small game/deer tag (fyi my card expires in '13)

Just make sure you're prepared with worms... If it's cold, you'll have to force feed them.

I'd bring an ice auger

I guess it will be up to the CO what he determines 'open water'. But yeah, as long as you aren't attached to the dock in any way, I don't see the issue. Nothing says you need to be a certain distance from shore.

Thanks for the heads up!

My car is sleeping in the garage right now, ice free!! But yeah, she's slick out there this morning.. Be careful boys.

Check out wundergroud.com Great weather maps... The southwest is getting it right now, all of south/central Ontario will be getting it early tomorrow morning.

Dan, Rain-X on the windshield works pretty good (Although I'd love wipers on ours as well)

Put a carpet, over your carpet. My oldman and I cut out some custom carpets when we got our Lund. All the blood/slime/mess gets on those instead of the original. Gets held down with velcro and is easily removed when we want to clean them. It also has rubber backing so no moisture gets through it.. We had a Legend before our Lund as well, great boat, we beat that thing to death and had zero issues with it.

I really like MEC. They have all that hard to find stuff you just can't get at Canadian Tire or BPS.. I buy all my cold weather undergarment wear from that place. Just picked up some Salomon 4D GTX hiking boots as well!

If I see a guy attempting to spey cast with a 9ft Ugly Stick, I know who it will be!!!

It's all fun and games man, seriously it's all good

You are awesome, lol!!! Thanks for the laughs this morning.

It's not trolling bro, it's speying!!! (With an Ugly Stick I might add)

Take a bit of your own advice

You're such a drama queen.... You're like the little kid that can never admit he's wrong and will just go on and on arguing the point. It's ok man, you're right... You feel better now?

Agreed, the more Canadian teams in the playoffs the better.
