Trust me Dude.....there is no such thing as a G3 Solix and everything I'm seeing for a G3 Helix is $300-$500 bucks off the $2499 fixed price. ....A brand new Solix 12 SI went for $2200 on Ebay just a few days ago with only 8 bidders. If a guy is interested in G2 Helix, I have seen price drops close to $800 for a 12 Mega SI. My Mommy didn't raise no fool when it comes to fast dropping prices on marine sonar electronics! They will be 40-50% off by Christmas. No retailer wants to winter over obsolete expensive marine electronics and hold up Spring POs, so Hummigbird gives BIG discounts and credits to get Spring POs from retailers for new stock as retailers broom out old stock models @ fire sale prices. This is how I bought my 1199SI for $1000 bucks with free freight with a free $150 wireless remote at Cabelas in 2016, the regular price was $1999. I never pay these greedy marine electronic bastards street mfg's suggested prices for anything.
