exactly what he said ^ but be aware that West Marine is going to STOP THEIR PRICE MATCHING POLICY MARCH 1st.

They will no longer match internet pricing and only honor legitimate "brick's and mortar" competitors.

So get on on it quick and call your local WMAR and see if they even have those old HDS5 in stock, if they do have them hold it for you and then bring in the printout of the lowest price you find on the net ( cant be a refurb), use the lowrance mail in rebate and your golden....

Whatever you do make sure you buy the extended warranty bc your unit WILL FAIL.

Im on my second HDS5 in less than 2 years. The nice thing about technology is that it generally gets better and cheaper. The warranty is good for the Dollar amount you pay at the time of purchase so if your goes bad two years down the road ,chances are that you will be able to get a "free upgrade" just by virtue of moores law.

you can use the money you save to buy some braces for your lady friend...
