Hey there TubeDude,
No feathers ruffled my very good friend. ha ha I just tend to establish a primise and support it with gusto! Some people think I'm or upset, far from it, I'm just in the heat of trying to convince you of how wonderful whatever it is and having fun doing it!
I taught university for the last 10 years I worked and tend to begin to preach which often leads to bluster. Hope others understand this puppy dog doesn't really growl seriously and never bites. ha ha Note bright eyes, wet nose and wagging tail.
My first fishfinder was a lowrance locator. State of the art in 1966. My next door neighbor still has it! Next was an Eagle in Japan and it was a very good machine which I never had any trouble. Truth is, I haven't used enough different machines to know the pros and cons.
The only real reason I like the Buddy III is the sidefinding ability. On a commercial fishing boat, the sidescanning sonar costs many fold what the stardard vertical cone configuration.
