Get you a nice side imaging unit for the console and a less expensive but good unit for the bow There are some nice fish finders out there in the $200.00 range that would work good on the bow.
Btw Welcome aboard!!!!

The side-imaging is probably going to be more useful on the console. The image deteriorates when you slow down to fish something. I believe you're better off getting a GPS for the front that can link with the console so you can come back to spots you mark while scouting with the side-imager.

Check out Shut Up N Fish on this website. You cannot beat David's price and he is great to do business with.

There is not one, its a separate website. There is a user on here that runs the website with that name that you can talk to.

I bought 2 HDS 5's an LSS-1 and an extra 15' ethernet cable to connect both units to the LSS-1 all shipped to my door for under $1800. You can have side imaging and down scan on the console and the bow if you want! And have enough money left over for a Navionics platinum if you desire too! http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbt...w_G#Post5688429
