People selling their LX-3's? What's up with that?

[Moose-Hunter]

Howdy All...

I have my keys in hand, going to get a Marcum LX-3. Newer models to boot. Now I see people here selling them. And these folks are who I would consider "in the know" about such things...

What's up? Is there something new out there that's THE depth finder to have? Fill me in here!!

I think your seeing some who are getting out of the Ice Fishing thing and liquidating equipment or simply a $$$ thing.

The LX-3 to my knowledge is not the issue at hand !!

[Dan Wood]

Those are all ProStaff units in which they are getting a new LX-3 to replace. I'll have mine for sale as well, as I did last year.

[Tahoe2349]

I was going to add they are more than likely field units being sold for the new years model, but you beat me to the punch.. lol

[Moose-Hunter]

That's sort of what I thought, but had to make sure. I can't get left out on the latest and greatest ice stuff ya know...

Thanks again..

Moosehunter, you're getting a quality unit. You'll love it.

SInce you are all talking about the LX-3...I have a question. I have the LX-1 (w/o zoom)and want to set it up for my trolling motor, but all I can find are transducers for the LX-3. The store stated that Marcum doesn't make a transducer for the LX-1 for the trolling motor. I was wondering if the LX-3 transducer kit would work for the LX-1 with-out causing interference etc. or is the store just full of it?

Thanks

behmer,

The LX-1 can be converted for open water. Here's a link to the manual on Marcums HSOforum. In it it clearly states you can use either a high speed ducer, or a puck style. I bet you can order it straight off of there HSOforum.

I sold mine too and got another one. Used it for two seasons and got $315 for it on hsolist, not too shabby.... EBays flooded pretty good now with Vexilars. Nothing on hsolist when I did the MarCum LX-3 search, hhhhmmmm.

When I was going to buy a Marcum last year I did a search on hsolist but there where none for sale. That was a plus in my book. I went to gander a got it for $360. because I opened a charge account. Then I won one at the Miile Lacs event. I bought the transducer for the trolling motor and use it year around.

I had a new FL18 last year for the ice series at Winnie. At the event I seen The Marcom LX3. Though the FL18 worked good and I enjoyed fishing with it, I owned the LX3 shortly after that. They will not be able to pry the LX out of my cold frozen hands!!! The diference I noticed right away was the targets did not jump and blend with other targets and or bottom. Just one steady consistant target with Marcom. Cant wait to play this winter!!!!

[Moose-Hunter]

Well folks....

I'm now the proud owner of an LX-3!! What a slick unit!!! Now, if only Mother Nature will cooperate....

[Bob Horn]

Congrats, welcome to the Marcum family.

Speaking of Marcum and transducer's....I talked with them at the ice show and they told me that in 2005 they would be coming out with a dual beam transducer. I guess I know one thing already for next yrs Christmas list!
