I don't personally have one, but I got to use one the other morning.  I am sold on the unit.  Best one I have used yet.  I think this one was a 55 though.

trap123 i have the 45 and in my opinion blows all other out of the water!!! and ive used the vexs and marcums. the marcums are nice but too small for my likings. if your gonna be at the western ny meet and greet ill be there and ill let you borrow my until to try it out if you would like!! ill love the extra couple features on the 45 compared to the 35. they do make a bit of a difference!!!

just the display area. they seem to light up real nice though. my hummingbird screen is twice the size. and the battery on the hummingbirds last alot longer than what the guys i know that use marcums lasts! i can fish 35+hours on just one charge!

I used this with Game Hog.  Yes, it is a 55.  I think it is great!  I just started ice fishing...Friday was the first time ever and I really liked it with the flasher.
