Just get the largest screen, highest resolution you can afford.
Actually I am partial to lowrance. I started with a Mark 5 pro and upgraded to an Elite/GPS 4 color. I went back to the Mark 5 because of the larger screen. |

I have a Lowerance Elite-4 color w/ GPS on my Outback and its more than capable of everything I need it to do. Considerably cheaper than the other models too. Guess it depends on your budget though.

Honch, it seems like people are talking about the Lowrance HDS5, Gen2 with the 50/200 transducer.
Lots of people have been looking for sale prices, but none to be found.. except for this possible $100 rebate at West Marine. Check out this ad.. I got it off someone's post here. $749 - $100 looks like the best deal so far. What FF do you have now? And what are you going to do with it when you get your new FF and PA? |

yeah, it looks pretty sweet! but I'm debating getting this Elite5 just because it's cheaper.
http://www.amazon.com/Lowrance-000-1...ite+5+lowrance $386 NEW, plus $10 shipping and plus tax. I'm hoping to figure out a way to easily mount it to BOTH a Hobie Oasis, and a solo kayak, like the Mini-X or Hobie Outback, so I can switch it back and forth easily. I was thinking the RAM mount and some kind of transducer arm. (maybe I'll ask Andy @ OEX). There seem to be a lot of the Elite 5 FFs out there, so they must be decent? Is the HDS5 Gen2 really that much better? Thanks.. -J |

.. uhm... in progress... shhhhh.. ![]() I think I've heard about people just cutting out the glue or goop that they did to attach the transducer and just carefully peeling back layers until it's off. How much are you selling it for? I might be interested. Hey, wanna show me LaJolla April 1?? ![]() ![]() |
