Anyone noticed BCFs price for HDS10 gen 2 combo?
Submitted by z00m on Mon, 2014-12-29 08:29
I only have a 5 inch sounder and a 7 inch GPS on my boat so I am always looking around to see what comes up. Was comparing prices of used HSD10 Gen 2s (not the touch version) when I saw BCF has them for $1749 which is cheaper than some used ones on ebay. I know it doesn't come with maps or a transducer (I have both already) but I wonder if I am missing something?

I would only guess they are
I would only guess they are not being produced anymore now the HDS touch is out there. They did the same with the Simrad NSS series when the evo 2 came out. Still a good unit but dated and slower then the current HDS touch. If you can afford to buy the touch it is so much easier to use and more features.
If your after it for a sounder I would avoid it and buy a stand alone unit like the Furuno 587 or 627. If it is just as a gps then it's a good buy.

I did some more reading and it seems the 10 inch will no longer be available in Gen3. Gen 3 doco only talks about 7, 9 and 12 inch models.
