    Got a pair of Gen 2 HDS-8’s
    Each has a skimmer transducer
    Comes with a DI/SI ducer and structure scan to link them
    $1500 for everything

    I did a quick ebay search and just the units are
    Averaging $700 a piece, if $1500 is too much just Minnow.

    Yes probably the best option is to sell them as a unit.

    Are these units capable with an ice transducer? If so i might entertain the idea of selling 1 and keeping one for myself and selling the transducers seperate

    Of course you can use it for ice - get the ice transducer & power cable then you're set - these are no different than any other locator.
