Daily Flip: Fish Finder Glory....

We were yard selling a few weeks ago and came to an older house. It was on the side a steep hill with massive oak trees all around it. I normally don't remember those kinds of details but this one stuck out. Mainly because everything at the sale was wet. The trees were blocking all the sunlight, so all the items they had laid out were dewy and just kinda nasty.

We wound up picking up several items here anyway. One of which is today's Daily Flip.

It is a portable fish finder. I have owned several boats through my short 27 years. All of which have had a depth finder of some sort on board. However, I have never seen a portable depth finder. Its actually a pretty good concept. It comes in a hard case an the transducer is on a large cord and mounts with a suction cup to the boat. It runs off two big lantern batteries.

So, as I am perusing the damp and dirty yard sell. I came across this thing. It was in a hard black case and I walked by it the first time. Stacy was taking forever at this sell so I made another round back through and this time I noticed the words on the front of the case "Humminbird." Being a boat guy I immediately knew it had to be a depth finder of some kind.

Here are the numbers....

We Paid: $6
Sold for: $49.99
Margin: 88%

Good things are worth waiting for. Like your wife. While she takes forever at a yard sale.
I really didn't think I took that long.
