Dont forget about the new Humminbird's beagle they are making some awesome products,the 787 has gps but it is still a great unit for the money,the 797 is a sideimaging unit like cuzz bought and looks to be a very handy tool once you figure out how to run the damn thing but it also carries a price tag of around $1000.00,the 777 or 585 would be great units as well if you want one without gps.I've also been looking at the Lowrance 510 it looks to be an awesome unit,i have always liked Garmin products but they dont offer the pixel count as the H-birds and Lowrance units,just some suggestions they all are great units...be sure to check out www.jandhproducts.com for some great prices.
