Lowrance Elite-5 HDI online deal $259.95

I'm a sucker for deals, but not in the market for a fish finder. Thought I share. Not even sure if its a good deal, but Slickdeals usually posts dope deals. enjoy.

Its a great deal if it comes with the Hdi transducer. Those can be pricey if buying seperate

Defintely a good deal. I think probably because they were discontinued for chirp models. Dont quote me on that

Is it just me, or does Lowrance's website kinda suck?

I just get lost when I go there.

I'd love to see a simple chart, same as I've seen for hundreds of other products, that has all the different models and different features, and check marks indicating the features each of the models has.

For example, something along these lines:

No transducer???

It looks to me like the description references the transducer frequencies. The what's in the box description doesn't list transducers.

Yep, I picked one up a couple of months ago. It has the transducer included.

They are discontinued that's why these are going for a good price. But a great FF and you can purchase a 3rd party warranty. Which I did, I hope I won't have to use it because you never know about those 3rd party vendors.

For what, They only make the one type at a time. So the HDI is discontinued as is the Chirp then there is the Hook which I am sure in a year will be discontinued as well. If they kept selling and marketing those then I can see a chart being needed. But they only sell there new models to distributors. These sales and any chirp is just overstock.

Take a look @ SquareTrade. I bought a Lowrance elite 5HD on E-bay. Got the 3 yr SquareTrade & had a problem a 2 years later. It was going to cost me MORE to get it fixed than what I paid for it. So SquareTrade sent ALL my $$ back. I found out I had a loose wire to the transducer & now I have two fish finders.
