Raymarine Dragonfly Advice!
Hi There,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am chasing some advice on a new sounder/chart plotter combo. I have recently purchased my first boat (4.75m quintrex bayhunter) to take fishing around Warnbro, Cockburn and Mandurah. I am looking to upgrade the GPS and sounder on the boat as they are quiet old black and white units, and not knowing a great deal about how to read sounders properly, i figure investing in a decent colour sounder will help me to learn quicker and find more fish!
I have been looking at the Raymarine Dragonfly and was just wondering if any other users have had any experience with this unit and if so, what your thoughts are? or for around $700-$800, are there any better units on the market?
Any information is good information!
Thanks Guys

book
spend $50 and get the book by John Adams Oceanside are selling, it will give you a good understanding on how to use your sounder.

Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.
