Where do you see that price? Lowest I see is $450 including the rebate?

I'm still eyeballing this Raymarine unit....

It's the best overall deal I've been able to find online.

The 7 must be sold out, still have the 4 & 5 though. Or call customer service and see if they will extend the discount on a similar model. Never know unless you ask, and the worst they can do is say no

I actually got this same deal on the Hook 7 last December. I am a bit disappointed in it. I am running it on my tin boat. I have the Elite 5 without CHIRP on my yak and it performs much better than my Hook 7. Looses contact with the bottom easily especially if there is a change in depth. Does not desplay bait or fish nearly as clearly as my Elite 5. Anyone else have any input on the Hook line of sounders?

I've heard the same complaints from my freshwater colleagues...

Yeah...I've read bad things about the Hook series not living up to expectations. I've got an older Elite-5 with chirp that I'm also a little disappointed in. Screens can be slow to load and the cartography for LJ sucks.
