i highly recommend the 8 i got of the first ones out and still works very well

I have an entry level Marcum. I love it and it was a little less money.

i snagged an fl-8se from bass pro shops when they were on clearence for $199 last summer. it's the best $200 ive spent on fishing gear.

Have you decided yet?

[rancherlee]

check local pawn/second hand stores. I picked up a like new FL-8 SLT with a the S-cable (for shallow water), 9/19* transducer, and genz pack for 200$

[crappiekeith]

That's a great deal!You'll be so glad you bought it.

Sorry to not put this question on a seperate post, but this seems to
be the largest gathering of Vex users I've found-
got a 18 on the bow of the used boat I got last fall, it is hooked up
to a MK maxxum with the first gen universal sonar...
I have to run it on the low power setting, and still can barely turn the
gain up past 1, even in 20-30 fow. Any more and the screen goes wild,
lights up like a Christmas tree all around. Is this normal, or do they not work
well with the U.S.? It also goes crazy if I turn the troller up more than
40 percent or so, but I wasn't too surprised by that.
oh, and it is hooked up to my cranking bat, not the troll batteries.

Never heard of one being hooked up to the universal sonar. Have you checked their website ( US ) to see if it's compatible with this type of flasher?

that is a sweet deal, and it will totally help ya put 200% more fish on the ice.

Just went and looked, they say it is compatible. I knew it had an adaptor from mk to fit the Vexilar, but went
and looked at the site to make sure about my model. They listed the 8,10,18, several more.
I'm thinking this is just some of the funkiness of u.s., I would put the seperate transducer on, but don't have it.
Anyway, thanks. Jeff
