I just purchased a used boat and it came with a Humminbird Matrix 27 locator. I was told that the unit was a combination sonar and GPS. It has a white plastic hockey puck shaped thing, that says humminbird on it, mounted on the hull by the windshield.
I want to upgrade to a sonar/GPS colored unit with better screen quality and use the existing transducer and dash mount. My question is will the GPS still work with the new unit if the new unit just says GPS ready on it or is there something else that I need to buy? It looks like the same mount and I believe the new unit uses the same type of transducer. The unit I am considering is the model 777c2 w/o transducer. I have sent an email to the company but they haven't replied yet.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
