Thought I would pass this along for those that do not pay attention to sales at "that box store" They have the 740s on sale for $1099 starting the 13th. If you are in need of a new chartplotter (pre-loaded with coastal marine including bahama charts) this little touch screen has some pretty good ratings. It is only 7" diagonal but is very readable.
 
It is "daylight" readable. Absolutely great. The "s" in the designation means that it also has a depth "sounder" built in and can split the screen.
 
John, yes, it is a nice plotter. Two of my friends have them and I got a chance to play with the model. Thnx for passing along the info.
 
What, where, who, etc is "that box store?"

How are we supposed to know where it is on sale?

Really George - All of the threads we have had here in the past about the box store and you do not have a clue as to who it is?

Since we are not supposed to post links to other web sites here, PM me if you do not know the name of The Box Store.
 
Great plotter I had one as a standby on my big boat and one on my Son's boat. They read perfectly in direct sunlight.

Bill, what is the natural upgrade to my 3210 without breaking the bank? Is this 740 a stand alone unit?

Thanks

Niles - The 740 is only a 7" diag. screen. The resolution is better though so it may be a wash. The next up replacement for the 3210 is the 4210. The 4210 I have seen as low as $1900. I was going to get that one at first but when looking at them side by side the 4210 was just to big IMHO for where it would sit at the helm.

I have no idea of what you are talking about. Commonly Lowes, Home Depot, etc are referred to as "the big box" stores. However, I do not think that is what is meant.

You do not need to list a link. Just do not try to be so cute in your comments. A name would suffice.

You know, in thus future I will just keep my cutesy comments to myself when I hear of something like this.

The by-laws do not allow for advertising other companies for good reason. Since boat fix is not available as a resource right now maybe Les will lift that requirement. Until then I will refrain from posting any deals I see since it is just to confusing for some to figure out which, from the vast multitude of big marine retailers that box store might be.

George and Camille, if you really want to know rather than just stir up ****, message me.
