What is the best unit for the money? Can't afford a unit like the 997. I am retired, fish mostly for Crappie, do not do any tournoments. I just need a unit to replace the console unit on my pontoon. I do need GPS & would like to keep it as simple as possible. I guess this is a lot to ask. I have a limited knowledge of this type of equipment as I recently purchased my boat & it was equipped with 535's I do not have the proper manuals.
What do all of you experts reccomend?

Not an expert but I use Lowrance and have for years. They hold up well to my limited use of about 250 days a year. If you are not getting a side image, HB makes nothing to compare to a Lowrance unit not even close. http://www.lowrance.com/en/

the 787 series is very nice and not too high priced.
