For boats 25' up. High speed a reality. Dual beams. Should be a hot item. Anybody installed one yet. Reviews? This will eliminate putting a hole in your keel for a thru hull. Airmar finally gets it. MSRP $793.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    I'm purchasing one this weekend from BOE. I'll let you know how it goes. My boat doesn't have a good place to mount a thru hull and I'm on a trailer. I'm a career sonarman and the specs on this transducer look good on paper, especially the sensitivity (just as important as the transmit power). I'll let you know how it works after my first trip to the canyon edge. I'm attaching this to a Raymarine system.

    It does look big!

    Any update on the TM260. How is its performance compared to other transducers? Did you have to thru-bolt it or lag it to your transom? I'm thinking about getting one for my trailer boat.

    Thanks,

    HH
