Default Re: Buying a new fish finder

After doing some research the past few days and checking a few out today at west marine I have learned a ton, but also have a few quesitons, if you guys would help it would be much apprecaited!

1. although i am relativly "new" to fishing only have fished for a few years with my dad and brother I think Strucutre scan would be cool and could be utilized pretty well, do you guys agree? like i said mainly fishing stripers, fluke, sea bass, ling..
2. that being said west marine has the lowrance hds 7 touch gen 2 for 800 and 400 for the scaning transducer with a 300 rebate so around 900 for the package, BUT the more research I do, I notice that people are having porblems with this unit
3. i know garmin just came out with a bunch of new units with a 100$ rebate and transducer included and scanning also. seems to be decent around 500-800
4. ray marine which a few of you have mentioned has the dragon fly model which seems to do all i need i think?, as i dont need to link more than one unit
also i am trying to keep it as reasonably priced as possible, one one last questoin (sorry i know a longggg post!) but are all these units capable of saving waypoints or routes / capable of entering cordinates to follow

as always thanks again guys!
