Thanks for the intel...upgrade from my x67c works but goes wonky sometimes...I think it's the transducer going... it's served me well.
...and unfortunately, that's an expensive part to replace. I can't believe that for this unit, buying the same ice transducer separately will cost over $100 already!

In my opinion, you can't go wrong with a Lowrance unit - and at that price, it's an even better deal.
I have always used Lowrance products - and still have and use my x67c. I didn't realize that the Hook series had mapping capabilities - so that would be an added bonus.
Enjoy - this cold weather sure gets the blood pumping for some hardwater action!

Just discovered there is a small micro SD card slot at the bottom of the unit so I guess you can buy and install much more detailed maps than the really coarse base map they have in it already.

That's correct. Hook 5 (without that "dreaded" 'X':-) has MicroSD card slot.
It is those models with 'X' such as Hook 4X, Hook 5X, etc that have no such MicroSD card slot.

Thanks Flukes for the heads-up on this deal. I'm running a Livescope as my main unit, but the deal was too good to pass up so I ordered one as a backup or just a loaner to anyone that I take out with me
