Hi , these have been on the market long enough now for people to have some reviews ? On the face of it they seem the perfect unit . I was hoping someone might be able to tell me how good the fish finder is ?

Whilst I'm on the subject , I heard rumours of an x boat with new brushless motors . Has anyone heard the same ?

They look good the downside of integration is that if the sonar or something else stops you have to send the whole unit back, so you can't use the boat while it's getting fixed.

Brushless motors - unless your sending the boat out constantly on big runs all day can't see the fascination myself.

When I bought my Xboat was looking at them but after speaking to Leigh Stewart who sells, fix and alters them I went with the XR310/raymarine combo

He has had a few units and said the sonar is in line with tf520 on a small screen. Said nowhere near top spec sonar

Probably a few x-boat groups on face ache
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
