FF Humminbird 385ci kayak combo?

Anyone currently using this model of finder??

I have one and it is just a 385 with a 7 ah battery, charger, dry bag, cover plate, and gasket for though hull mounting.
The gasket is the only thing special. Not worth the price unless you can get one on closeout.
personally I like the larger screen on the 500 series. My 597 stays on my boat... the 385 has moved to the girlfriend's boat.

I'm running a 383c GPS/Chartplotter combo and love it.

Not sure what to get but I know I want gps for marking sturgeon holes

I got the 385ci kayak kit. Works great, but it was rather expensive and the screen is small. Also got the Navionics Marine & Lakes card to be able to see depth contures - to see where I want to get to.

The Navionics is the gigles!!
Best upgrade even though it  is spendy.

I've been thinking about making that upgrade, how much is spendy?

I think it's between $199 and $250

I got the Marine &Lakes USA for $99.00.  Then you get to download one state - WA in my case. It gives you lakes, marine out to 3 miles, and the Columbia. Its not the Gold version which gets you more.  Bought it online from some GPS store.

I got the Canada gold which ran 250. It gives me Or Wa BC and south east Alaska

Can you transfer the maps from different models of FF? Say from a lowrance to a hummingbird?

Don't think so.  When you order you have to specify the brand and model of your sounder.  My guess is each brand requires a different formatting.

Thanks.

Sorry for the thread-jack doubleR

I have a 385 cidi.  I really like it.  I do not find the down imaging necessary, although it would have been nice when i thought I was trolling over a submarine in the great lakes in a different boat.

It is easy to use and seems durable.  I have flipped in the surf and it still works.

My only issue is why on earth are the maps so expensive?  I can get navionics charts for my iPhone for $20.  To get the chip for the fishfinder is stupid..
