Not Panoptix.
That's been around for a while.

Panoptix LiveScope.

This is brand new.
Only out a week or two.
very little info on the web about it yet.

Well thank you for letting me know that there’s a new model

I just about screamed out in excitement when I saw the details in that demo video

Yea I guess I completely missed that one, my bad.  ::)

I feel it brings more excitement. My favorite part of ice fishing is jigging and seeing the interaction on the graph. During open water while fishing from a boat, I find it very difficult to maintain a stationary position to do the same with the sonar over deeper water. I don’t have a fancy motor with spot lock, and anchoring in over 20 FOW has too much drift when there’s any wind. If I had the money to throw at this system, it would bring my favorite “video game” to a whole new level and used year round.

I deferred on the fancy motor with spot lock for a few seasons.  Now ill own one for life.  Once you are locked on a lake like champlain using flashers to jig lakers while its 80 out is pretty much unbeatable in my book.

....then if you are really addicted like I became you run enough amp hours in your boat to power a small city.  I think I have 400lbs of batteries but so many smaller lakes I never need the main! (Which is sucking wind right now)

Mac thats a great link thanks for sharing.  That pricing is great!  Now all we both need is the panoptics 'ducer for the bow mount and man what a combo. 

Begs the question...whos going to build a tesla like high performance electric boat.

Yea, 2 of those bad boys instead of 4 smaller ones.
But is there room for them in the boat.
I would make room.
And then some room for 2 more.

And don't forget charge time.

Quicker to charge 4 smaller batteries with a 4 bank charger, than 2 larger ones with a 2 bank charger.

Do your homework.

I'm with you 100%  2 34's up front and 2 29's in back to crank.  The 34's only run the troller.  Had to learn about adding a 60amp breaker...was roasting the minnkota barrel plug.

Even quicker to charge the 4 with 2 2 bank chargers!  I rock 2 big pro mariners.

 Locating  fish is just one aspect of fishing , you still need the right bait and the ability to apply the right presentation
 I say if you can afford it and have the want go for it

I don't mean to hijack your thread but since you bring up the topic I'd like to ask a question.  I'm giving some serious consideration to buying the Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4 DI fish finder for my row boat and am wondering if anyone has or used one of them.  It looks pretty nice and the price isn't too bad, $146.  I'm looking to stick to my budget and am looking for reviews on this particular model.  Here's a link to it:
