I got a new (to me) Parker last year and I need to update the Chartplotter and have been looking at the HDS 8. If you go that way I'd love to hear your review of it. Also curious to learn if structure scan can show if a paddy is holding.


Alan, I'll let ya know if I go with the HDS-8....

I'm in Arrowhead, we'll have to have a beer sometime!

You're in Arrowhead? Cool but I'm still in La Paz for a couple more weeks. I'll U2U when I get home. Hopefully we'll get a chance to tip a brew and maybe even bend a rod.
