I sure hope you are right! I'd love to have one, but really, whether I have the money or not, I just can't really sink $1,500 into one of these units for the fishing I do.

Anyone have any information about installing them on your boat? I am wondering if it would be advisable to wait until I buy a new boat to get one anyway?

Also, I am guessing the sounder unit is mounted in the back of the boat, or at mid-boat at best? I think it would be best to have it mounted on your trolling motor, so you can "see" what you are fishing, and doing it when you are fishing. But from what I have seen, the units seem to be mounted in such a way you read the unit while you are sitting in your captain's seat.

So, for those that have one, is that the way you do it? I would much rather be able to use the side scan while I am standing at my fishing position.

Thanks for the help.
