Humminbird, Lowrance, Garmin, Eagle ... what would you buy
Ok guys - sound off. Are any one of these better than the next? I'm talking primarily FF - maybe combo unit - don't know yet ...
What kind of finder would you buy.
That's a little like saying I want to buy a car, should I buy Ford, GM Dodge etc.
I don't have enough experience to suggest one over the other so just let me say that I have a Lowrance X67. Colour display, fairly easy to use and in the $300 - $400 range installed. It is a straight up finder, I have a hand held GPS mounted next to it on the dash. It's a Lowrance as well. IFinder H2OC. I don't think you'll hear many complaints about Lowrance but there are certainly lots of options out there.
My buddy has a Hummingbird finder/gps combo and I don't think he has figured out how to use it yet but that may just be him.
There are so many variables out there you really need provide some guidance probably starting with price point.
