Iboats order, finally pulled the trigger

[whofan]

I been researching electronices over and over to find a replacement for my X75 sonar and 4800 Globalmap.
I was looking at the Lowrance Lms 520s
I best deal I found was getting the X510c to replace my X75 ane getting the 5200c Globalmap to replace the 4800m.
I run the two units side by side on my counsel with ram mounts. Running two 520s would have been nice but I found the better deal with the stand alone units.
Iboats is the best deal I found. $965.89 for both units including shipping.
You guys shopping electronics check with Iboats first. Just ordered mine today.

That sounds like a good set up. I also purchasd the X510c,but went with the 5300iGPS. Only difference between the two is internal antenna vs. external. I have yet to have the boat out on the water to see how they work. Hopefully will be soon.

I may have gone with the 5300 also, but I already had the hole for the 4800m antenna. The x510 looks like a great sonar. I hope it will serve me as well as my x75 did. I have a friend who has the 5300i he likes it. He had to send his in once due to antenna reception. The new unit works great.
I think Lowrance solved their internal antenna issues.
