Best price for HDS-5, but......... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fongman · 06-21-2011, 04:46 PM

THAT'S $673.99 FOR THE HDS-5 W/50-200 TRANSDUCER AND NAUTIC INSIGHT!

BUT.......Has anybody dealt with Boatersland.com? I could only find 2 customer reviews and they left a lot to be desired.

Yes price match at West Marine!!
I would shop for one without the nautica insight. The Lowrance Package Model 140-21. Seems like I see those for around 650....the "insight" is not worth the exta$$...

I hate big brand stores, but WM's extended warrenty is really great, Ive used it multiple times in the past with FF's and they really replace it on the spot, no questions asked!! I would not buy marine electronic anywhere else!

I agree, skip the Nautic Insight. Get the Base Map and save your dough for the Navionics Fish N Chip or Platinum. West Marine matched the price of anchorexpress.com for me. Be aware, that they do not do instant exchanges for products over $500 (I think that is the figure). The warranty is still well worth it for our usage of these type of items.
