Craig, does this Wesmar have an electronic vertical adjustment for the beam angle? The 110 allowed you to angle the beam downward so it intersected the bottom closer to the boat when you were searching in deep water. Also, can you plug a headset into it? This was indeed a good unit, but Wesmar no longer supports any of these older clicker type machines and it takes time to learn to use one. My experience with them has been that it is better to listen for the wreck than to watch the scope. This unit sold for about $1700 new but if it is in good shape and doesn't leak any mineral oil from the transducer it is a very fair buy. A similar unit sold on ebay a few months ago for about the same price.
