Humminbird 727 ... any good?

[itallushrt]

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong area, but I'm new to this forum.

I'm looking at purchasing a new fish finder, and was wondering if anyone has any history for the Humminbird 727? Seems like a good deal for the money, found them online for as little as $232.00 new in box, and I like the idea of being able to purchase a $42 cable that allows the hook up of my handheld GPS to it. A combo FF for under $300 (I already own the GPS) isn't bad.

Any thoughts and experiences with this model would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I dont know about this model but my 987 is aaaawesome. I located some sunken tires and you could see the hole and all in the sideimaging. They looked like donuts down there. I am finding new things about the waters i fish.

Hi Itallushrt,

I got a Matrix 727 around Christmas. I really like the split screen feature. I talked to Humminbird CS and the only difference between the 727 and 737 was the transducer. Also, you can by a 'splitter' and the 3-way (737) transducer and have both. I'm going to run the regular transducer from the transom and put a 3-way puck style on the trolling motor. Just haven't done it yet. For the money, I am very pleased with mine.

What do you mean? The new one is better? Mine is only 4 1/2 months old and can download any updates for it.

As for the 727. I have not heard anything bad about it. but like Big George love the 987c SI.
