YakDout - yeah tons of good points. So do you have the 180 drive on your 2017?

We bought the 2015's because we had to have the new seats, and its been worth every penny...both my wife and I have enjoyed the new seats so much more. Really made the kayak for us.

Last year I went to an HDS 7 Carbon with total scan and right now I just hang the transducer off the side, and it works, but I would like an under boat solution. I know there are some options out there to use the current Lowrance ready solution with total scan, but my problem is that I run a lot of rivers and taking a blow to the transducer area is completely plausible, so the guardian is a feature I really want.

But yeah, when does it end...I buy this now, then over the next few years the transducers change, the Guardian is obsolete and something else comes out.
