Like Silverking, I haven't been out in over a week, but we were 5 for 6 decent Kings and 1real nice Laker with lots of marks between 110 and 120. With the winds we've have I think around 200 might not be a bad start. Good luck. "My Dawn" on 68.

Raymarine hands down imo. As for riggers, I've only used them once on someone else's boat, but his Scottys were scary strong and fast. My 4 Walkers that came with my current boat are adequate but I don't think top of the line by any means. Darn things just won't break down though so I can get new ones. They remind me of when I told myself I'd upgrade to a flat screen HDTV when my old one stopped working. Darn thing is still being used in the basement and the Walkers are still plugging away on my boat. Had to just bite the bullet and upgrade the t.v. Riggers are next. Nice new boat like that, you want the best you can get. I've been boat shopping heavily for several months but wasn't looking at vessels that long. For price comparisons I'd search the major boat listing sites for similar models and see what they are going for. Was it a salt water vessel before it found it's new home? Boats in this tri-state area sure seem to bring a higher asking price then the coastal states. NADA values aren't even close to what a boat can actually bring, from my shopping experience.

I use the X4D and have found it very useful, especially once when the counter went out on one of my riggers. I have my transom transducer mounted about 20-24 inches from my outdrive and my readings seem to be accurate. I do get occasional readings where it seems to kind of freak out and give funny readings for about 20 seconds and then either reacquires the signal or reset itself. I'm very happy I added it.
