[CA] [CA11] Axiom Pro RVX - High / Low chirp Transducers??

[DFMott]

The minimum is 280 feet and the maximum is about 7000 feet. I do a lot of trolling in the 280 - 1800 foot range. I am never bottom fishing. My boat is a 26 foot Scout Abaco and I just don't see how I could get 2KW transducers in it. The flush mount Airmar B series are the best fit for my hull design, Still, I am looking for the best performance and why I thought a pair of B175's would be an improvement in range and clarity over a single B164 on a CP370. The literature says full 1KW Chirp on the Axiom Pro so if I can't utilize the 2KW potential on the CP470 it would seem the B175's on the Axiom-pro would be the best match. The other choice is a B275LHW but not sure I like the idea of putting such a large fairing on my small hull. That is if they are compatible with the Axiom-pro RVX...

Would you then recommend I purchase an Axiom Pro S with a CP470 over a Axiom Pro RVX for my situation? Even if I can only have 1KW transducers? Will I have better performance with the Axiom pro / CP470 / B175 LH pair vs my current ES97 / CP370 / B164?

I would prefer a 2KW transducer but I just don't see how it will fit in my 26 Foot boat. The R111 is 17" long and 6" wide. Since I have a 20 degree dead rise I can only moun it lengthwise and it just won't fit....
