If he's ever at Ky Lake ...I'd like to get in the boat with him ...

It appears the signal is bouncing around in something.

Kevin has the CPT100 Downvision/2d and CPT200 Sidevision both mounted on the inside of the jackplate (creating the echoes parallel to the centerline)...

He knows this already and says there is no fish that close to his boat anyway ... So the lines don't bother him ...

The DI looks awesome. The SI looks so-so. The chirp 2d looks killer.

Looks good. Raymarine likes those torpedo shapes.


These Raytheon Sparrow III missiles pictured under the Deamon's wings were unpredictable. Made me nervous fooling with them. Of course, this is stone age stuff I remember.

What is the cost of the raymarine chirp sonars?
