Color is a whole new world.  After spending the last three years looking at small monochrome graphs, I feel like I've been reborn.

Plus I now know that my top speed is 2 MPH with the trolling motor.   ;D

Got a second base installed at the console, so I'm no longer blind when running down the lake.  Must nicer than spending more $$ on another graph.

Nice!!!!

now get another one and get the interlink and they can share all the info its great.

I have a Matrix 87c and a 787c and they are great

Don't need another.  Humminbird sells a Second Station kit which includes another base and a trolling motor transducer.  All I have to do is move the head unit in order to have a graph at the console.

switch station. i did that for a few years, its gets old. I like to have two units better

I may only run my outboard six or seven times a year, so installing a separate graph at the console isn't really all that needed.

Very nice.

It looks great on your jon boat.  :D

Nice finder Burley, Is it much easier to determine what's under you now you have color?

I've learned more about that lake over the last three days than I have in the last three years of fishing it.  I can say without reservation that when it comes to sonar, color is indeed worth it.

Color made all the difference in the world when I was lobstering.

Those images reminded me of the images I got on Cox Ledge, about twenty-five miles SSW of Westport.  It was hard bottom, and on the old mono paper recorder it all looked the same.

But on the color machine, when there was more yellow beneath the red bottom line, there were also more lobsters.  A lot more.

Color shows transition changes in the bottom much more dramatically than monochrome.

the pics look great. I have had mine about a week now but I am still waiting on the transducer from humminbird. I exchanged the transom mount for a hull mount. I am having a blast playing around the GPS though!!!

That's Cool .... We need to upgrade to color on our graphs ..... our GPS is color, but not the graphs.

I have to admit .... at first I was afraid to open this thread titled "new toy" and see what Burley is playing with !!!!   ;D

Burley, I installed the same unit on my boat a few weeks ago  I couldn't spend the money on a second unit, so I just got the trolling motor setup with plans to just move it back and forth.  It only takes seconds.
