Well, I have to say thank you folks that took the time to look into this unit, I'm going to Cabales to see the unit in person, then think about it some more!! and wait for Cabales to send me a $150.00 off any purchase over $500.00 then I will definitely buy it. I'm a guy that only gets to fish a few times a year but for a couple of days at a time and 1 time a whole week!!, so I believe that the ELITE 7 will more than serve my purpose. THANKS!! PAP.
