I have a chance to pick up a brand new in the box Lowrance ElliteTi2 for 700.It looks like the Ellite FS came out in 2020,that TI2 has been sitting on the shelve for awhile will it need to be updated right when and if I get it?Also is that a fair price?Thank you.

Good unit but that feels high for the level of performance it offers and the fact that it doesn’t network with anything newer.  I’d want to pay half that for it at this point.

I forgot to mention it's a 9 inch and has the Active imaging 3 and 1 transducer if that makes a difference.

That’s what I assumed.  My opinion doesn’t change. 

I bought one 2 years ago from Walmart online and gave $495.00 new. Great finder, but hasn't had any updates in a while. For that kind of money,  I would choose a newer model. Just my 2 cents. 

I have 7" & 9"  Elite Ti2's on my Ranger.  They're good units, but today's anti-glare screens are much better.  I think $700 is a little high for an older unit, even if NIB.
