Tom,

Seems unlikely that quality will go down. Lowrance has been doing a lot
in
the past few years to move from a predominantly fresh water entity to both
a
fresh and salt water seller.

The founder, at least for now, remains the CEO. Simrad may ask for some
new
products but I don't see them lowering the value of the purchase by
diluting
the impressive quality Lowrance has been producing.

i agree with that, but it is a holding company purchase - you just
gotta wonder.

But Simrad does produce great Sal****er gear.
