I bought a vexilar fl-20 for ice fishing, but I am deploying in Aug. I won't be here for next ice fishing season, so rather than hang onto the vexilar and not being able to use it on the boat without buying the convertion kit, I returned it to the store. and just paid the differance for the LCX-27C. The LCX runs $699.99, but I found an ad for $649.99 so I asked the store to match that price. So I just had to pay the difference, about $180.
Now the reason I wanted to upgrade was I had the X-85 and it worked, I also have a Lowrance XOG GPS. I love the XOG in the truck, but not in the boat. It just doesn't update fast enough, so I wanted to upgrade to a MARINE unit. I was looking at the 520C like I asked about above, but my dad LOVES his LCX-27C and said it was worth the money.
I'll tell you what, if you get on [url "http://www.lowrance.com"]www.lowrance.com[/url] and look for the emultors, you can download the unit of your choice and then manual and check it out just like you were looking at it at the store. No joke, you have to use your mouse pointer just like you finger and each model will work on your computer JUST LIKE you were standing in front of it.
