Doug, quit over analyzing! Get the new HB for your boat and just keep using the vex for ice fishing. It's all good. Where would you put all this new stuff? In your wader pocket? Just take a compass [gps] and a mirror [side viewing] and the vex and ya got the same setup. Well kind of.Paul
I am in the market for a new sonar with GPS plotting and side imaging, and after talking to some fellow fishermen, and countless hours of research, I think I'm going to buy the humminbird 898 si. Question is, has anbody used one through the ice? I heard the relay slows down when its really cold, but the side imaging would have its uses through the ice.
