I just saw that too When you say including warranty does that mean I would not have to purchase the extra warranty protection?

SORRY.... I meant PLUS their warranty can't be beat. So YES you do have to pay for it but It will most likely save you a lot of money and hassle in the long run.

I personally will only buy my electronics from West Marine because of their awesome warranty.
Since the HDS 5 is under $400 if something happens to it WM will just replace it on the spot hassle free.

The HDS unit is far superior to the Elite 4 you mentioned earlier. If you want to do it right the first time, get the HDS. At only $100 more, save the extra cash and fish a couple more times without a FF if you have to. It will cheaper in the long run because you WILL want to upgrade at some point from that Elite 4.
