Default Re: Buying a new fish finder

I had many good years of reliable service from my lowrance units.
They work well and are very user friendly.
I like the nautic patch maps better than the navionics and c maps that most other unit use.
That being said today , seems everyones units are very good.
My current boat is loaded with furuno, Scotts boat, has Garmin, and Capt Rich has raymarine. each of us like OUR own units better, yet have no issues using those on anyone elses boat.

I like putting as big a screen as I can afford , and after fishing 2 ten inch screens am hard pressed to like anything less.

My new boat doesnt have as much console space so it will have a 10.5 and an 8",

even humminbird is coming out with some sick saltwater units.

take your time to browse and look at different screens and see which are easier for you to use.
and also see.

some guys like the blue colored FF, I myself dont see them well in sunlight, and like the white backgrounds.
another thing you may need to consider
