Lowrance Elite-4

[stephenG]

Looking at getting a Lowrance elite4 color fish finder / GPS system for my hobie Outback. Does anyone have any experience good or bad with this unit? I'm some what concerned the screen is going to be to small??? Any thoughts?

I just bought the non gps one and I love it I think it has good detail but this is my first fish finder so I really have nothing to compare it to my buddy has a black and white hummingbird and he likes mine way better so I guess that's something. Wish I could have been a bigger help

I've got the mark 4 and like it but wish I had spent the extra $100 for the color. Would come in very handy for finding rockpiles

The screen is a bit small for split screen mode. I pretty much just use the fishfinder and have a handheld Gps I use for location. Nice to have a backup Gps however.

I have it. The detail is nice but the screen is a little small for those of us who's eyes are not as good as they used to be. But it is a good unit.

Sounds good gents, think I'm gonna go ahead and get it.

Purchased an Elite-5 DSI/GPS before Xmas (eBay seller end of year overstock reduction sale) paid $399
Can't wait to use it. Also using scupper mount instead of thru the hull "wet mount".
Think they're still listed (with all due respect to OEX) but now about $450.
Shoot me a pm if you can't find it on an eBay search.
