How did you feel in the vantage chair?
I just picked up an Elite-7 TI, was thinking of picking up another for backup and the Revo 11, was pondering a 5" (Which ducer you using?). But,really, it's not a whole lot bigger than the 5", all your adding is that 2 inches to size which can make a big difference in viewing split screen. But, hey, fish finders don't catch fish.
Enjoy,
Yeah I would have liked the 7" model, but they would have needed to order it and I wanted it that day so I could finish all the installs. The only thing I see is if you used the Ram fish finder mount that is Lawrance Elite ready, which I used, the clamp section isn't as long as I would prefer in order to get the head a little further out of the way of the leg movement while pedaling. On other wider kayaks it would not be a problem. One can just get used to it being there, because it is only 1" wider on either side. Good luck on your set ups. Yeah, I found it to be an awesome kayak.
