I saw the hummingbird helix 7 are around 400-500 but is it worth it? Or spend a little more for a lowrance? Right now on the front of the boat i have lil lowrance and hds 5 in the back. I need to upgrade

Loved my Helix 7 Chirp DI/ GPS until it decided to take a dive into PK. I fully plan on replacing it with the exact same unit. Screen is crystal clear and it does all I need/want it to.

I've seen the Helix 7 Chirp SI GPS for $700 at a couple of different places in the last week, one of them being the Bass Pro in San Antonio.

FWIW, I have the non-Chirp Helix 7 and my experience has been that the DI and Sonar views look better with the transducer slanted more front to back (where the back edge is lower than the front edge) than what is recommended.

Look at the garmin striker series they are very good units for the money just not the best maps but can get a garmin striker 7sv with side imaging down imaging and clear vu for $500
