Hey y'all .... let me revitalize this thread...

got West Marine email on 4 day sale starting Thur 3/19. I'm looking at the LOWRANCE Elite-5 CHIRP Gold Fishfinder/Chartplotter with 83/200 + 455/800kHz Transducer for $399 (http://www.westmarine.com/buy/lowran...ucer--15631542)

Wondering if this is a good deal?

Give this ebay deal a look. I *think* this is the same model as you listed, but I'm no expert, so double check it.......$499 + Free S&H and No Tax (?).

The LOWRANCE Elite-4 CHIRP Fishfinder/Chartplotter is also a great deal at $249.

I am curious what most of you think with regard to the difference in use between the 4 in and 5 in screen sizes when on the water?

How useful are the Navionics Gold maps? I noticed they are included in the 5 CHRIP but not the 4 CHRIP.

How do the new Lowrance CHIRP models compare to the Dragonfly series?

I ended up picking up the elite 4 CHIRP and the VHF 160 radio. I couldn't justify the $150 jump for the five inch screen.

Keep in mind the 5 also comes with the navionics card.. Much better details and structure provided which is worth 100 by itself. The 5 seems be be my sweet spot having come from a 4inch model and the 7 being to big.

Surprisingly the Elite 4 came with the Navionics card and the Nautic Insight feature. I would have loved the extra screen real estate but decided to pickup a radio with it instead.
