[font "Calibri"]Which is better Ford or Chevy? This is very much a personal preference. If you ask my father he’d say a traditional Marcum flasher, no bells no whistles. If you ask my neighbor he’d say Vexilar, all the bells and whistles. If you ask me I like the showdown 5.6. [/font]

[font "Calibri"]My two cent is you get what you pay for. If $70 is all you can spend, then go for it. Ice is still a bit off. If I was you I would start saving your pennies and get a nicer unit. I have the Lowrance Elite 5 and also the Marcum showdown. Elite is nice because you have all the GPS waypoints you gathered throughout the summer. But for ease of use, showdown all the way. [/font]
