Awesome guys, will hopefully get myself into one by the coming summer.
I remember some people being a little suspicious of the new seat and drive when first announced. Glad they're goin well :up:

To be honest, I tested in the old and bought the new model before it even got here. Missed the start of snapper season but absolutely worth it. Like viko said, there is no going back.
Live long, fish hard and hopefully catch something.

Tempting. However, I keep my cars until they die, so I can't see myself updating.

Good luck to those getting the new model. Looks ace. :thumbsup:

Hey guys,
what sounder did you have fitted into your new Outback btw?
Had another look at that seat at SLH the other day, can't wait to upgrade :)

Lowrance elite 4 hdi
Perfect size, I was worried that it would be too small.

I've run the elite 4 combo unit on an outback as close to me as that elite 5 combo as pictured and the elite 4 just wasn't big enough for me.
