do you not understand that they had massive tonados and devestation in that area? I would be more worried about warranty repair times, costs of warranty, the way the company stands behind thier product out of warranty.... I think you are not being wise in your approach given the circumstances with the weather disasters.

Ok, just wanted to make sure my results weren't affected by a natural disaster over 200 miles away. Just called Humminbird back and waited another 20 minutes to ask them if the recent tragedies had an effect on their ability to take customer service phone calls and the response was "None whatsoever." So, as I stated above the tornadoes were nowhere close enough to impact the results of my experience with Humminbirds customer service. Just thought the air should be cleared of mis-information.
