T Fisher Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Can any one tell me if I bought the right unit, I was thinking a VEXLAR fl18 but was told that the ice machine was a better unit. Your imput or thoughts please.
Greencoachdog Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Not sure about ice applications, but I've been looking at them to put one on my boat. Let us know how you like it, the good and the bad. I've seen other members with them and it looks like they do a good job! Smokey and Terry, how do you like them?
Corey Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 The ice machine sounds like a champ. The only concern I would have is the liquid in the display freezing. Other than that I was very tempted to pick one up.
backwoodsmanbob Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 the screen is tft or something like that, won't freeze. Tom you have had it almost a week, you should have taken this week to test it and report. Hut going out this weekend on Saturday. will let you know. It will be interesting to compare the finders info and what I see on the camera......Bob

tschirk Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 I have had one for over 2 years and used it at -25c and it is amazing!!! It won't freeze & is as fast as is vexliar. Absolutley the best ice fishing investment I have ever made. I originaly bought the x67c then added the ice duscer later ... I should have bought the ice machine pkg up front....
misfish Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 I was impressed with the one Terry bought. It even picked up the smallest of jigs.
Terry Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 I have only used mine a few times but I am impressed with it so far
cityfisher Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 its a great unit and goes on my bros boat in the summer
Uncle Buck Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 I've heard that interference is a real pain with those x67s when fishing around with those that have flashers... i had the same choices... i opted with a marcum lx5...
just2manylures Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 I talked to the boys from Lowrance at the fishing show last year. They told me this is a specail screen designed just for cold temps. It can handle -25 no problem!! I have a unit that uses the same screen on my smokercraft and it is just awesome my 2 cents 2many
Rustic-Fisher Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Decent unit, I had one for awhile and ended up selling it. Its seems to be a little tempermental with interference from other units so keep that in mind when you fish with buddies that use graphs. I liked the color screen though. Rustic
Terry Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 they might, I hear some flashers put out a lot of interference but the marcum lx5. for 200 bucks more and not as useful in the summer, I am more then happy with my x67c
samson Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 u made a good choice, versatile flasher by some of the reviews i've read. i would get one if i had the money
T Fisher Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Posted February 9, 2007 Gonna put her to the test tomorrow, I will report then. TF
