I've been trying to buy a couple of them over the last 6 weeks, nobody has them. Most recent delivery dates I've seen were Feb 9th to Feb 22nd, but these were pushed back from mid January. I called Hummingbird and they couldn't even give me an approximate date. Cabela's may have a few but they were charging full retail while some online retailers were getting $100 off retail, I can wait.

Bought mine through Hodges Marine, been dealing with these guys for a couple of years, never had an issue.  You might get lucky and find one there.

I went the route of getting just  Helix 7 G2 sonar/gps unit. Will add the XI9-1521 transducer when I can find one.

Mounting on plastic tool box I got from Home Depot for 5.00. Have a Dakota Lithium battery for power. Once all done have under 550. Will sell the included transom mount transducer to help defray more of the cost.

If you really want the XI9-1521 transducer or other products. You might be best to find a good price and go ahead and order it.   I placed my order early season, I had to wait 4 weeks to get it as everyone had it backordered, but places seem to be getting stock and filling orders already placed. So even if you wait a couple of weeks to order, places will probably have it backordered filling those that already have ordered first.

You may need to place your order and wait it out.  I ordered mine early in the season not knowing they were backordered.  I got mine about a month after I placed my order.  I'd still be waiting if I waited for the items to be in stock.
