For only, wait for it, wait for it:


$729.99!

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to get a Vexilar or Marcus just for ice fishing and leave the Helix on the boat? Noise interference rejection? Isn't that standard now? And isn't GPX too?

And who needs all the bells and whistles for ice fishing anyway? Allow me to see my jig and the fish in real time with bottom zoom and I'm good to go!

Maybe this is supposed to replace the Helix 7 on your boat and then you use that back and forth to ice fish with?

One unit that does both.  So yes replaces the unit on the boat.  Throw in GPS, autochart live, waypoints, ect. Definitely worth it imo

So you get rid of your Helix 7 and spend another $730.00?

Not everyone already owns a helix 7....
I guess I can understand your point to some extent,  if you already own a helix 7 this option wouldn't be the way to go.

 then you just buy the kit to use it on the ice.  great unit, buddy has one and i will likely grab one at the end of this season unless a black friday deal pops up.

If you are looking at the helix 7 look at the deal Cabela's is having on them for black Friday 549 bucks seems like the best deal I have seen since I bought mine earlier this spring.

A kit to use it on the ice? Did I miss that? That's what I thought the offer was initially, but then I saw the price and it was for a whole new fish finder.
