    Default HB 859 or Lowrance Elite 7??


    On a budget guys.. I've always had really good luck with the Lowrance units. But to be honest I've never had anything this hi tech. Which one?

    I plan on mounting the unit on my front deck and mounting the td to my trolling motor.

    Was just doing some reading on the 859 today. For the money that's what I would go with over the Lowrance. Especially with the issues on GPS on Elite unit.

    Call Brian at BBG Marine...

    He's had some killer deals on HB closeout models...

    Try to at least extend the budget into DI...(with 2d and GPS)...

    Go with Humminbird low end Lowrance are not that good. I agree at least get DI, but side imaging is in that price range too!
