Searching on whether or not this unit could be applied to open water fishing brought me here. So many questions though. I'd be trying to use this out of a kayak. I'd also be much more interested in the livescope. Will they eventually make a livescope ice bundle? If I could get something like that, that I could use for ice fishing, put in a kayak, and haul it to Canada for a fly in trip and pop it into a 12 foot boat, I'd be all in! Anyone have any videos they can share of using the panoptix ice bundle in a kayak?
Thinking really hard about the upgrade from the old 73cv to the 93sv plus. Can I just pull the head unit out and snap in the new one? What chances will I be able to sell the 73cv unit alone with no mount or transducer?
It's a different mount. You can buy the 93sv plus for $570 from Cabela's right now with the boat ducer. It comes with the mount and what not. What I did was sell my 73sv with the new ducer from the plus.
It is back to $1000 now.

Bought one, 73cv plus ice bundle. Liking it so far. Will probably get a live scope transducer for the heck of it. Below is a pic of some smelt from this afternoon.
You can make the menu auto-hide and I'd recommend getting rid of the real time on the left side.
In depths over 75 I prefer the split screen with the sonar zoomed in to the bottom 10. Makes seeing the lakers way easier. 😉
I was at Cabelas today. That $599 deal is last years model. The new model is $999. This is from the sales associate I was talking to, so it might be true.
Could you be more specific mboss? $1300 for what?
Garmin 93SV chartplotter head unit (or equivalent) - Required for both Panoptix or Livescope - Around $600Panoptix PS22 Transducer - Turns your regular 93SV into Panoptix - Around $800Panoptix LiveScope System - Turns your regular 93SV into LiveScope - Around $1,500You can use the head unit with a regular transducer as a standalone graph/locator OR you can add the PS22 to upgrade to Panoptix OR you can add the LiveScope system to upgrade to, well, LiveScope.LiveScope is Panoptix but Panoptix is not necessarily LiveScope. Do not confuse the two. You do not need the PS22 Panoptix transducer to run LiveScope.
Thanks for that, esox. I've got a lead on a garmin ice bundle, 93cv with panoptix. Come with one 10amp lithium battery. I can buy this for $1700. Seems like a decent deal??
