[CA] [CA11] Element transducer choices, wooden boats

[NLNATL]

Thank you Chuck for your very informative responses to my questions. You have given me confidence to proceed with my choice and helped me feel like an expert on this particular MFD. Since the Element series is a new product in an expanding market, it is difficult to imagine that Raymarine would not someday improve the units capabilities to include wooden hulls. Because the two boats have survived nearly 40 years with only a paper charts and depth sounder, I will go ahead and purchase the Element HV and be content only using the chart plotter function until the time when a bronze thru hull becomes available. It could be a win now and win later solution! Thank you (and Raymarine) again for this forum and the service it provides! NN
