Ralph, keep an eye out on someone upgrading from EVO2 to EVO3...you should be able to pick one up on one of the fishing boards.... Check with Simrad before you do to find out how long they will service the EVO2.....I bought mine at WM with the warranty..so, if it goes bad, I bring it in and they replace it or give me $ credit towards a new EVO3..... dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egrets Landing Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 If you are going to get the EVO3 to run FMT, best to buy it from ISLA to get the 20% off the charts in addition to the mfg rebate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makomark Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 At the recommendation of FMT I bought the Lowrance Elite TI2 9" and must say that I am extremely satisfied with it using the ISLA charts. I didn't want to spent the extra $$ on the EVO3. Resolution is very good and the refresh rate is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the hunt for a 9" unit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE OUTLAW Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Thinkin about running a 65” Samsung on my 16 Redfisher . Would this be acceptable ? 🇺🇸☠️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yep a 65” screen is totally acceptable these days! 😜😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egrets Landing Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Doing that wont help with the G3 you run. The bigger the screen gets with that the more depressed you will become ruining your trip. Better off with the 5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving Garmin so still learning new system so nothing much I can offer from that regard. Sent ya a PM with some more info as I didn't wanna derail the thread.

Granted we don't have the water clarity in the north half of the state but there are a LOT of boaters around here that would love to throw money at something like this.

FMT Charting Group Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'm sure we will get to TX. The issue we would have there is the tracking how to best represent that. You have these wide expansive rocky bays like Baffin Bay that are run in very shallow running tunnel skiffs. We can map it, but I am not sure we would want to create navigable tracks all over these expansive shallow areas. If we do it, we would likely track the edges and deeper channels nearby and work to mark the obstacles on the flats along with obviously correcting the accuracy of all of the markers.

Understand LG is waterproof. Post pictures a must guy. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I am going to make a template as well and work on placement then its a 12 or 9 for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
