I need help deciding what Fish Finder to buy!!! - 03/09/18 11:07 PM
Hi, as a newbie to fish finders, I've been researching them for a while now and am split between Lowrance and Hummingbird.The maximum I'd probably be willing to pay for one is $700, but I don't know what bells and whistles are with the ones I'm looking at.
I definitely want:
- 2D imaging (the normal sonar?)
- GPS capability, where I can also mark certain points on the map to come back to
- Side scan
- Down scan
- Salt water capabilty??? Not sure how that would work, but we will go out to saltwater bays and coastlines at some point
- ATLEAST 7" of display or larger without breaking bank
To start, I don't know if these models have all this...

https://lr.factoryoutletstore.com/detail...ogitemid=484345
https://lr.factoryoutletstore.com/detail...ogitemid=253380
What would be the best out of these and why?
Also, do you guys have any recommendations?
Thanks!!
