archer59 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I'm looking for a new(er)locator for the bow of my boat, or a combo GPS/locator for the stern. I've been watching HSOList lately but I might buy something new this time. Looking for suggestions on where to buy. Online works for me also.Thanks in advance for your responses,Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Go to Marine General. Call them and ask about show specials they always seem to have some deals on different units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubby Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I have had the best luck and found the best prices on hsolist. Plus you pay no sales tax and that can add up on electronics purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18 inch Crappie Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Check out Wade at Jolly marine. He is out of iowa and ships next day to your house free and matches prices. I am very happy with the Lowrance 332 I got from him for $599 w/no tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valv Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Wow, that LCX17 from Reeds if it has GPS antenna it's a heck of a good deal. I can't believe the price $ 449.00 And I know some people is trying to sell me a used LCX15 for $ 400.00...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Head Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I would check with these 3 places:Marine GeneralReedsThorne BrothersYou can't go wrong with any of them. You probably want it now, but if you wait until winter you can buy it at one of the sports shows. They are usually willing to deal a little more at the shows.Good Luck!

Sutty Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I like to froogle stuff I am going to buy. (option at google) Stuff is usually quite a bit less than retail. It doesn't always find what I am looking for but usually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markkstanley Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Jolly Ann marine is the place. No sales tax, free shipping and great service. Wade is also a very good fisherman. He knows his stuff and will give steer you in the right direction. Have any questions zip him an email and he will respond within a few hours at worst.

83walleye Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Not sure if this is universal, but I understand the mark-up on electronics is typically pretty low - most places don't make a ton of money on electronics sales...I'd agree with the MArine General plug - Russ has been known to cut a deal or two in his day...

Matt Johnson Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thorne Bros will give you a good deal and make sure you get what you want. They walk you through the different options and help you pick one out that truly suits your needs. They provide excellent customer service and are easy to work with. You will also find that their prices are very comparable to other stores, if not better on some units... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
