Hi All,
Im not all that familiar with the electronics side of things, so would like to get some opinions.
Im upgrading my depth sounder, and would like to replace it with something like a Humminbird Matrix 87CX GPS/Sounder combo, or maybe just a sounder alone unit.
Id like some opinions on this unit, or other Humminbird stuff, or even similar competing units (including similar prices), such as Lowrance, Garmin or Navman units, including comments on why other units may be better than the humminbird.
Ill probably buy it from the US direct for the first time. Any comments on this also appreciated. I realise I will forego warranty in OZ, but am not sure on the charts or whether i will need to upgrade them. I feel the savings are far too good to go past.
Thanks in advance guys,
Regards
Darren
