[QUOTE]jeff - 4/29/2012  8:37 PM

Just curious how many are running sirus weather with their Lowrance HDS systems?

This will be my 3rd year running it.  I use the Marine inland package.  It shows the wind barbs and allows me to anticipate wind switches in advance.  A couple years ago in Central Minnesota we had some very severe weather with rain bands and a large tornado come through.  I was able to keep my guest dry by running to the landing between rain bands (he forgot his rain gear)  I was also able to anticpate the wind switches and wind speed gains.  We also were able to vacate the water prior to the really bad stuff.  We also had good fishing between the stuff.  I also use the system on LOTW and it works well.  Needless to say I really like the system and wanted to give a report for those who have looked at it.

I just picked one up yesterday for another boat.  They are on sale right now for 99.00.  I spend way more than that filling up my tow rig on regular basis these days.[/QUOTE]
