There was a Furuno booth at the NE Saltwater Fishing Show. A big booth with almost nothing on display (2 or 3 devices with very small screens, not even sure what they were).
I have been planning on a new system based around twin TZT3 16 MFDs. All of the online retailers show a ship date for these units as 4/4/2022. I asked the grouchy guy at the booth and he told me he'd be shocked if I saw the units before "late August" if I ordered today.
Real bummer. Looks like it's time to either switch brands or wait until next winter for the upgrade. No chance I'm going to rip the boat apart in August or September.
Does this guy know what he's talking about? He was also saying that "if my local dealer had ordered them 6 months ago like I warned, they'd have them!" Of course this makes no sense as it was not the demand that was limited but the supply; anything dealers get in stock has already been spoken for.
