If you're referring to the showdown, they're a great unit. Try the search feature, there have been a bunch of threads the last year or so, lots of info. Also try posting in the equipment section if you didn't already.

thankyou for the reply . i will use those options . this forecast this early for our weather  really has me chomping on the bit . cant wait . good luck with your season . i am from durham  . looking forward to the first day out there . been getting stuff together and making some modifacations to the old ice sled .last years cold was great but the excessive snowfall made the parking lots tough to get through . once they were plowed then the bite was on !!!!!  thx again .

The Showdowns are nice units, easy to use. My complaint is the price. Ever since Marcum bought the company, the prices have gone through the roof... Take a look at some of the flashers out there... Guys get intimidated by the flashers thinking they are complicated. This is not the case at all. The Humminbird Ice 45 is cheaper and a hell of a unit for the money. I can show you everything you need to know on a Humminbird in 2 minutes...

I'll have all of our electronics in stock in about a week. Feel free to stop by for a side by side comparison. I can show yo the ins and outs of the different units
