| I had the 168 blue screen on the boat I just sold and it was great. The
software maps that came with it were very good compared to the Lowrance I
have now. I would recommend the 178c as it is color and slightly better resolution,
but otherwise a very similar unit. I think it also has a slightly wider
screen. I know one of my distributors has them for under $600 brand new,
but they are out of stock right now so I think it may be a discontinued
model. I would also check EBAY as often the disc models can be had through
guys who buy them up and resell them there. Make sure you ask if its NEW or
RECONDITIONED. I recently bought a new 240 that turned out to be
reconditioned when I received it. Nothing wrong with reconditioned, but I
think they should sell for about half what new should sell for. The
reconditioned units do carry a factory warranty also. The 178C also does split screen nicely like the 168 I had. Bob La Londe
