West marine had a sale on them not to long ago. They have become even cheaper than what I paid. I bought mine off of ebay brand new in the box. Never could get one for a decent price until I bid a little lower than I was willing to pay and no one else ever bid on it. The 740 has worked fantastic for me and I am not the most computer friendly person. Love the touch screen. It show tracks, POI, plot your destanation, with the card it has pictures, shows a fish eye type view of the surface and the depth while moving and it will tie in with other equipment. Running Poker Runs in unknown waters it is fantastic. People where following me and they lived there. I didnt know about the colored bezel rings thou. I will be checking that out next. Worth every penny.

I got me one and a Livorsi cover gona put it right here. I did a lot of research before I bought it, seems like the way to go and easy to use. Built in GPS so no antenna to buy. Buy a good transducer to have depth tracking and so you can see the fish trolling @ 120 MPH. be sure to mount the transducer properly.

I have the same dash setup with the old 182 Garmin. How much cutting on the dash did you have to do to make it fit?

I don't think you'll be disappointed. It does way more than most of us go-fast guys will use and it does it without un-needed complexity to the simpler stuff.
