Be careful buying anything from Amazon because many retailers there are not authorized re-sellers/distributors and thus while you may get a brand new (whatever) it will have no warranty because they are not true retailers for a given brand. Seeing brand logos etc. is just part of the scam some retailers on Amazon use.

I buy off Amazon for items that I won't worry about be unable to return if it fails. Sonar units? Not going to happen.

I just built a 2nd sonar platform for a specific use I have in mind for some searches I am conducting and bought a new Humminbird Helix 9 among other things-all done in person at Bass Pro Shops in Hookset. Great experience and I know they are authorized re-sellers.

Buy from Amazon of course if you are comfortable with it.
