Humminbird 363 Sonar/GPS Combo <-- anyone own one?

[RichP]

My Eagle Fishmark 320 has officially died on me and I'm thinking about replacing it with a unit that has GPS in it......

The unit I'm considering purchasing is the Humminbird 363 Sonar/GPS Combo.

Anyone out there own one? If so, how has it been working out for you? So far so good? Durable? Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

My uncle has one and he is not too happy with it. I have no opinion on the machine but I would think because you are getting the package at a fairly cheap price, it wouldnt be as good. If you really need the GPS capabilites and are following a tight budget, it might be perfect. Buying new electronics are always fun! Good luck

If you lived closer I could get you an Eagle 500c for about $40 more than that 'Bird... and it's a better unit. If I were heading you're way anytime soon I'd hook you up but I don't see myself getting down that way anytime soon. I'm sure I'll be hitting Kent Lake sometime this later summer/early fall... but you don't want to wait that long.

I own the 383c and I like it just fine, it picks up the satellites quickly, marks fish, easy to operate and change settings. Only downside to them is they do not have a slot for a memory card to add contour maps with so you are stuck with the uni map it is loaded with.
