I bought my 19' Alumaweld Stryker last July. I love the boat, but I had it equipped with a Lowrance X-71 FF. My decision. I've had some problems with the FF. It fogs, and has intermittent depth and water temp. readings...

I'll be sending it back for repairs, and I've received my Return Number from Lowrance to get that done under warranty.

Here's my question..... I want a GPS, so should I go ahead and try to get them to upgrade me? Has anyone done this? Should I just get it fixed and buy a GPS, or should I try to leverage my repair into an upgrade to say, an LMS-320?

Any advice from you expert Ifishers would be appreciated..... Thanks, T

If you have the option of leveraging to the LMS 320 or LMS 320DF, DO IT! I love my DF. I think you'll find that there are conditions which will cause intermittent readings on almost any finder, but fogging will never do!
