Looks like my best option for $$ would be Helix 10 mega SI and the add on of Navionics + for the region. Then as I build my own maps I still have a rough estimate of structure. Thoughts?
Lowrance, I like the simple functionality, but the comparable unit would be out of my budget!

Bottom hardness is now done live, as is weeds.
SI overlay would have to be done on computer. I understand you can just use a regular sd card to hold mapping data(don't need zero lines card) but it won't show you outline of lake and wont look quite as nice because of that, but something to think about to save a few bucks. Navionics + would be good to have to get started.
Here is some of the Helix info I been watching lately.
Mega imaging, super clear although reduced visibility distance(but capable of using lower frequencies as well if you want further visibility)
