That's the 73 SV non chirp and was a first generation of the SV models prior to Garmin adding chirp to the SV line. It's still a great unit but it's lacking chirp and other good features such as offshore maps. It has lake vu maps included but by the time you spend the money on a map chip for saltwater you still have a non-chirp unit and I don't think it does engine data. Another feature the 94 SV Chirp has is screen shot captures and real time bottom contour mapping. Yep, you can now build your own private detailed bottom mapping as you go. The 94 SV Chirp also has a very cool quick release mounting option that keeps you from having to disconnect the power and transducer cords. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first but I grew rather fond of it after dealing with the cables on my 7610 xsv. You also have to consider screen size. the 9" screen is a huge jump over the 7".
