Thread: GT54 vs GT56 transducer

I own all Garmin units for last 10 years. Price point being the reason starting out and sticking with them. Hands down Birds are the best for side scans even 1st gen mega birds vs gt56. I did notice a major improvement side scan image replacing a echomap uhd 93sv with a ultra 106sv on a gt54. The processor is faster and the pixels are higher. I've seen a new 106 ultra 2 with gt56 and garmins getting better with the side scan image. Depends on what your putting the gt54 gt56 on. You can sell the uhd 93sv for $475, Take the money you thinking about dropping on a gt 56, join the club at bass pro and have 12 months to pay off the remaining $200 interest free on a 106sv ultra gt54. Your side scan images will be way better and if you ever do get the gt56 you will have the proccesor that works best with it. Or not, just a suggestion
