Does it have GPS?? They sell for $350 with GPS on ebay. It was Lowrance's top of the line unit that came out in 94 I believe. It was replaced with the X-15MT in 2000 I think. Great units, I still use mine as a GPS unit.

Oh, and yes they are out dated. Lowrance won't even work on them anymore. If it works and is cheap, get it. If it doesn't work and is REAL cheap and you are going to buy a new Lowrance, buy and call Lowrance they will exchange it for a coupon. Not much off, but better than paying full price.

Yes it has GPS, can it take a mapping chip (Navionics)?

Dude was aking $300 I din't realize it was that old.

Will Lowrance give you a credit on any old unit? I have an older flasher from the early 90's...credit? If so, what are we talking? $10, $20, ???

No way will the 350A take chips. I have two of them on my boat and they are old, I don't know what year...10 years maybe? They are great sonars, great plotters, but the GPS feature is so complicated to work I installed my handheld in the boat to keep waypoints and navigation.

Next year I am upgrading to a new sonar and keeping one 350 on the bow and the other as a back up since you cannot get them repaired.

I believe Lowrance allows a credit towards some of their top quality graphs over $1,000 if you trade the 350 in. I believe it only applies to that model from what I heard.

If you want a chip reading Lowrance, buy new, spend a little more money and get something up-to-date (like the 332C). BTW, beware of the X-15 deals on ebay and such. Those can be outdated and they will not read the premium Navionic chips. They will read other chips, but there are some issues with the some chips. The X-17, X-19, X-20 etc.. are all great units and will accept all chips.

Hemlock: I also own a 350A and love it, but I have never used anything else either. Three years ago I had a problem with the 350A and Lowrance repaired it and also updated it to the latest engineering change to the unit. They did tell me that within a few months they would not be repairing them anymore and would give me a deal on a 332C. if you can get the unit at a decent price it would be worth the money. $175.00 max. Good Luck.

If the GPS antenna is rectangular, it's at least 8 years old. If the antenna is round, it's between 5 and 8 years old. The rectangular one is a five channel and the round one is the twelve channel reciever.

The sonars today blow the 350A out of the water though. I ran my X-15 next to the 350A, and was amazed at what the X-15 picked up that the 350A didn't register. Now the X-15 is almost outdated. For $300 you would be better off looking at something else.

so since my antena is rectangular which means it is a 5 channel, I should junk it then? if so, let me know and out it goes. the boat only came with the antena and I have a diffferent locator now

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
