I would go for the bigger screen. Get the Garmin.
Garmin Striker 7sv or HELIX 5 CHIRP SI GPS G2
I like fishing skinny water for reds and also searching deep pockets and brush, so side view is a must, live in coastal area and lakemaster cards from what i seen dont really cover the area. So is there really a diffrence between the two minus the screen and the card slot?
The whole chirp and down view sounds identical to the simpleton i am and just proprietary, unless I'm missing something?
In a jon boat with nothing fancy to talk to or a bow transducer marking my "spots" is a must also if I am missing a good unit please let me know.
Thanks for the help.

Screen size don't go less than a 7" screen.
Be safe and good luck fishing
Was about to get the striker sv (very clear )when I decided to go another route .
What was the new route and what was the difference in price?

hmmmm....I was looking hard at the lowrance hook2-5 tripleshot....but that garmin looks sweet...cheaper and a bigger screen
The local Cabelas bargain cave has literal stacks of last year's fish finders. Idk if there is one close to you, but it would be work a look if there is one nearby.
