Best fishfinder/chartplotter

Swath · #1 02-25-2013, 09:12 AM

Hello all,

I am new to this forum and have recently purchased a "new to me" fishing machine. It is a '95 Sylvan 17 Pro Select with a 130 Johnson on it. I will be wanting to upgrade some components and was wondering if I could get some input/opinions about fishfinder/chartplotter combos in the $400-$600 price range. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Several posts on that subject. Try search, one is very current.

If you can squeeze it a little more get the HDS-5 for about $750.00 at the FH, allows you to add side scan later and or another HDS with ethernet.

Thank you sir. I thought that this may be a common subject

Check out the new Lowrance Elite 7. Saw it at the Van. boat show and it looked real good and price was $700. Also the elite 5 gold is a good deal right now $400-450 minus rebate.
