Just ordered a new Raymarine A78 package which includes the CHIRP transducer - today only at West Marine $749.99 plus $100 Raymarine rebate. Then I ordered the CPT-200 sidescan module/transducer from Ultimate Passage for another $520. CHIRP quality downscan and sidescan on board soon.

Hi HEWES, I hope you enjoy the Chirp feature as much as I have. I have used mine for the past seven months in lakes rivers and salt water I think it is incredible. I will be adding the Downvue/Side scan to my Garmin in about three weeks.

Now I'm jealous Phil! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Alan
PS We'll have to go check that out once it's installed.

Both units have shipped, can't wait for them to arrive. Downside to the upgrade is having to bring the boat home for the install. No heat in the boat barn and I don't do electronics installs in the cold.
I'm thoroughly impressed with posted screen shots Bob. I think this upgrade is going to be a game changer for me, especially the SideVision function.
Belated Happy Thanksgiving to you as well Alan, hope you and your family had a nice day. I'll get in touch with you after I get the install completed and we'll do an "on water" test. Bet I'll mark fish in the top 15' of the water column now.

Can hardly wait; but it could cost me?
