lastchance, have you had any glitches with the raymarine. I am shopping for a c80 or e80 because of limited space. I like the platinum for its graphics I didn't know the c80 wouldn't run it[?]

Just bought a lowrance LRA 1500 from nikka at the boat show for $949
Platinium only works on E series. There are no glitches, I just think it's a ho-hum expensive sounder. Radar, GPS and everything else is top notch, I'm just dissapointed in how it works as a sounder, that's with the DSM 300 and a thru-hull transducer.

West Marine has the Ray Marine c70 on for 1800.00 plus a 2 hundred dollar rebate. Thats $1600.00 !!!!!! With a radome that would be a $2600.00 unit. They have a box deal screen plus radome (24nm) for this awsome price. I got the Navionics gold chip as well so I can have radar /Chart overlay. I will feed the GPS info in through my Garmin multi for even more options between the GPS/PLOTTER/SONAR/RADAR.
Guess it depends what size boat you are planning to run it on. I just picked it up for my new 24' Striper.

Steveston Hardware has not been the same in years. Too bad, they were a great store before they sold it to the new guys who don't know the meaning of "Customer Service". [xx(]
Oh well, Nikka is right across the street - great staff and great service!

100% correct. I have been into Steveston hardware three times and been ignored every time. Walked across the street and dropped $300 plus dollars on barbques, VHF radios and Depth sounders at Nikka each time, paid the same or less and was treated very well. I would highly recommend Nikka.quote:Originally posted by Sushihunter
