Garmin has some 24" for offshore that goes for 12,000 that sale all the time. This will sale even in the bass fishing community and offshore. If you can build it they will buy it. LOL

Good news is a lot of folks will be upgrading and selling their 12s for cheap!

How bout Dat

So....who's going to be first?? That's the only question lol

offshore units have been up in that price range for quite awhile. it was only a matter of time until freshwater units reached that price level. wish I could afford one, but that is totally out of my reasoning/budget. a touch 12 is the exent of my need. would be nice, though.

Here it is in testing,,,,, works great.....

we may laugh but im betting its just a matter of time. Im also betting the tech may already be built in them and its just a matter of flipping a switch. Just sayin....

I'll upgrade from 12's to 16's as soon as they come equipped with the the true next generation of technology.

I will pay 6k when it can tell me what fish I'm looking at and the weight!

I don't see how you will be able to see around it. I am already concerned with the visibility with 2 12" mounted on the dash. I was looking at a boat at the dock at Jackson hilland he had the right hand unit mounted on a Ram Mount that was mounted on the Gunnel. It had stuck up about 8" above the windshield of the boat. I didn't see the owner and he may have been 7ft tall, but I think this was a giant blind spot for the driver.

My thoughts? Stupid.

Not for me.

The people at Hummingbird just crapped their pants.

Bigger is better as far as ease of viewing, but I think a 12" size screen is an adequate size in a bass boat. But some folks will get the new 16" and enjoy it I'm sure. I would probably consider one if I ran a big offshore boat.

I paid $3500 for my boat, motor, and trailer. I added two Garmin units a 9" and a 7", a battery charger, and new tires so I am all in at about $5500 and still don't equal the price of one of those units. No way!!!!
