Fish finder

[TightlineT]

My current stuff is like an 80's Atari game and I know I need to upgrade. Question is Hummingbird or Lowrance and why?? I don't think I have the $$$ for side imaging, just want a good fish finder. If you only had the money now to buy one unit, would you put it on the console or up front off of the trolling motor?? Probably a Chevy/Ford question, but I would still appreciate anyone's input and advice.....Thansk, Jim

Lowrance has a new unit called elite dsi, downscan plus sonar in a single transducer. I would mount at console witha ram mount so you can veiw it from front or back. http://www.lowrance.us/Products/Marine/Mark-Elite-Series/Elite-5-DSI/

They are getting where the price is right! for 582 to almost 700!
I think the industry is narrowing down what works and what the consumer wants {likes}

I am getting ready too emoCool

Thanks for your responses. I'm looking to buy one here in the next couple of months. Sounds like Fish n Fun has a pretty good reputation with these things, so will most likely go there. Thanks again! emoThanks Jim
