What do you want? 2D, Down imaging, Side imaging, Mapping? What size screen do you want? You can put a Humminbird helix 12 on it but it isn't practical.

The craft the unit is installed on makes no difference. The features and price is the consideration. I suggest the Humminbird SOLIX 15 SI. You can always settle for less.


Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 10 G3, Helix 15 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N,
Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 12 G3, MEGA 360, MEGA LIVE TL , MEGA LIVE 2, Xplore 10

That's the way I have always looked at it. No matter what size the boat it, you are attempting to accomplish the same goal as the guy in a 21' bass boat.

Hey Fly - Are you wanting it for combo GPS and Sonar use? What type of fishing are you doing? Everything plays a factor in the decision.
