Humminbird questions. Need help..
 
Has anyone used any of the Humminbird Matrix depth finders? I was thinking
about buying either the Matrix 20 or the 35. But wanted to get some other
opinions about them.

I basically shy away from Humminbird. The only way I owuld consdier them is
they offered something nobody else had like the Smart Cast, and then only if
I felt I needed it.

I bought a boat this year that had three humminbird sounders on board. I
tried to contatc them about some tech support issues, replacement
transducer, screen reapir etc... They were basically of the attitude that I
should replace them regardless of the cost and put mroe money in their
pocket. Then they had the gall to offer a total scam trade in offer.
Basically if I sent in a unt they would send me a unti at a "discount."
Whne I checked prices ont he net their discounted price was higher than the
units sold for retail from several different sources.

So far, the more I learn about Humminbird the better I like Garmin.

I'm open to having my mind changed, but the onus is on them.
