Is this a Good Deal ?

[Afraz]

Hey Guys,

 

I am getting a pair of used fish finders, the:

 

Lowrance - Elite 7 HDI (455/800, 55/200 -- > 2 transducers)

Lowrance - HDS 7 Gen 2 (Transducer 55/200 --> 1 Transducer)

Covers for Both

1 Ram Mount

 

Both used in good condition for 1000 bucks shipped, About a year old.

 

Now i've checked on-line, but the prices vary so much depending on where you look. So please put in your 2 cents regarding this, and help me make a decision - New V.s Used.

 

Will be mounted to my Wellcraft Fisherman 160, Both side by side on the console. Also please provide tips in terms of transducer placements, etc.

 

Thanks

its a good deal unless you plan on networking them

Yup, like Raf mentioned. The elite 7 can not be networked to the hds. The elite doesn't have the capability.

Considering the retail price of both units is about $2000 including tax, seems like a decent deal.

 

Is the hds a gen1 of gen2? That will affect the value..

HDS Gen 2 Kevin

It seems like a fair price and both have warranty, the Gen 2 HDS 8 are available for $1000 so for a little bit more you may be able to get new stuff with full warranty....
