Need a New Fish Finder
So my finder finally took a crap after 5 years of abuse. What would you replace it with? Not sure what everyone is using these days, Lowrance, Hummingbird or Raymarine. What are your thoughts? Would like a combo unit if the funds permit. Thanks in advance.

What I have
I have an echomap 44dv and I am very happy with it. Currently on sale at
West Marine for $249, but occasionally goes on sale at $199, which is what I picked it up for at West. I guess they had the 44dv chirp at half price recently, which would have made it even cheaper than the older echomap. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/garmin...FZSIfgodvFUFBg |

I can tell you, as a guy who's using a now discontinued Lowrance Mark-4 HDI, that you should get something with a color display. A 5" screen would be preferable and in my opinion a GPS is a must.

I would recommend a Lowrance Elite TI 5 or Elite TI 7 with the Total Scan transducer. I you want to save $100 than get the version with the Down Scan transducer it's a 83/200-455-800Hz. Awesome capabilities and touch screen is great.

I have the Elite TI 5 and it's awesome , but now I wish I had bought the 7 for these old eyes. Bigger is better, except when it comes to women......Ha Ha Ha!
