I recently purchased a new one for a very good price myself, and also in time to qualify for the $55 pre-paid mastercard rebate. As for the flasher, Phenomenal!! All the bells and whistles, where to start? Auto depth range, digital depth readout, adjustable zoom, dual frequency, 10 levels of interference rejection, gain adjustment, backlit dial, 3 color pallets, and super quiet! Used it twice so far, and absolutely love it. Very vivid display, accurate and fast sonar return.
