I can only praise the boat. Fairly easy to use and well thought out and so far been 100% reliable over past 10 months.

Deeper are very responsive to questions. Recent software update done to add features and mine is spot on but a few people have had various issues (some due to not following the instructions that were issued!!!!!)

The fact the boat is modular and they are already bringing out extra stuff regularly to enhance the boat it's probably the best value for a top range boat on the market

Treat yourself you are worth it

Had a lot of boats over the years.

The quest is defo right up there in terms of reliability which is most important and usability. Very easy once you are all set up.

I'll DM a link — if you are after one. Got mine from here

Bought one a while back but still never used it but my mate uses his all the time and says its the best boat hes had and hes had a few. It will only get better each update and the new downscale module for it sounds excellent. Its a very well thought out boat with superb customer service.

Caused issues for people who havent done the update or calibrated the boat at home rather than on the bank. The people i know who updated the app as deeper said have had no issues so user error.

Yep user error.
Tbh for folk who find delkims complicated I wouldn't recommend one.
Just get a dinghy and a bucket.

Edit don't forget some oars.

Not quite true the sonar is off no matter what ( Hardness), as is the band along the top. User error is not causing that.

Im sure deeper will fix it. I will more than likely never use my quest. It just gets left at home.

Reading hardness correctly is unfortunately a limitation of the technology as it's constantly tilting or bobbing about when on a bait boat.

Yeah you get better on garmin or lowrance but that s because they are attached to the hull of a proper boat
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
