Default Re: Sonar / fish finder recommendations

Don't know what kind of setup you have but...first off assuming you are looking freshwater since it is on this forum...at that price point I'd get two $700 units and put one at the console and one at the bow trolling motor. Today's units at that price point have just about everything you could think of. 7 to 9 inch screens, down/side imaging, traditional sonar, GPS, Mapping, even make your own lake maps while on the water, smart phone sync, trolling motor connectivity, chirp, etc, etc, etc. Don't know what more you could need for freshwater to spend $1,500 other than a bigger screen. Having that second unit at the trolling motor is an awesome thing. And all brands in that $700 and up range are gonna be pretty much the same from a quality perspective. Lowrance, Hummingbird, Garmin, etc. So I'd say go to a place that has them all and play around with them to see which brand works best for you.

Again don't know your setup but that'd be my suggestion.
