Thoughts on Lowrance hook2 7X tripleshot?
Any good? Seems like a good deal at $399. Never messed with fish finders before though

Don't really need maps...just need a smallish unit for a 2 man inflatable sea eagle 375fc pontoon. Only have an electric motor on it. Was just kinda stoked to see side imaging, and more than a 5" screen for $400

I'm assuming he meant you can't add maps to it. In other words, purchase lake maps and such.

There is a gps so you can mark trails, waypoints but w/o maps

I just hope you can get that inflatable toon up to enough speed to get a readable screen on the side imaging. Might even be a good idea to set the screen to only one side, so you have the full width of the screen to see what's out there.

how fast ya gotta be going? If it doesn't work with the electric, it will take a 5hp outboard

As I understand it, SI works "best" at speeds around 3-5mph .... but, slower speeds just elongate the white "spots" (fish) into white "streaks". If the unit has the capability of changing chart/ping speed, then matching that speed with the boat speed can somewhat counteract that stretching effect. Check your user manual to see if/how you can change your chart/ping speed.
I don't have a SI unit, this is just some things I've heard/read about them. My current unit is a regular Hook 7 (2d/DI/GPS/map) ... which I mainly use as a DI unit. (I have little to no use for 2d imaging) Unit was purchased to replace a Lowrance Elite 5 DSI (when one of the pins in the connection port broke off).
