I have 3 Apex 19s, a 360 and 2 Megalive transducers as well as directional GPS antennas. I weighed in 9.67 lbs at my club tourney last weekend, well worth every penny.

I’m running three HDS’s and just prefer Lowrance. I don’t feel like I am at any disadvantage. The target separation is very good on the Lowrance.

Lowrance and Garmin are pretty close, some of the best scopers use either one. 2020 Tracker 190 TX \| 115 ProXS \| Spitfire x7 Prop @ 51mph \| 6" Jackplate \| Garmin Force @36v \| Livescope \| YouTube - Fishing & Lithium Battery Content: https://www.youtube.com/@goodmanfishing/videos

Jacked up 3/4 ton crew cab diesel complete with camper shell- any less of a truck will just get dragged into the water. Don’t forget your jersey!
