I saw that when I got my WM flier yesterday and all I could do is 
for the size screen and its capabilities it cannot be beat. It will even run radar I believe?

The 740 is a really nice unit. I bought one this past summer and love the size, detail, and capabilities. And yes, it will accept and display radar.

They are nice but I just dont know how long that touch screen would last on my fishin boat.....it aint exactly got soap dispensers on the T-top.....

I thought the same but when I was considering it, I was fortunate enough to talk to a commercial bass fisherman that had it on his center console for over a year. Not a single problem he told me. Easy to clean and the screen is scratch resistant.

Wonder if they will be on sale around tax time? I dont have crap for electronics. I have a GPSMAP172. Its six years old now. A friend has a Garmin 641S he wants to sell me for $400. But it would be nice to have one big screen.

I got word that my old 2006C Garmin bit the dust last year. I bought it new in 2005 with the depth module it was around $2500. Current owner didn't even bother to see why it quit working.. I liked it for the full numeric keypad. The 740 looks like a deal for the price.

Word is the new line will be out in the spring (probably Miami Boat show time in Feb). So I don't think this is as much a sale as it is a price reduction.
