What does it show to make it the best?

Top electronics: Lowrance (55.5 percent of all radio or GPS and 35 percent of all fish finder purchases).

IMO
Best for straight 2D fish finder - Lowrance LCX models in color
Best Side Imaging - Ummm H'bird - no other game in town, but it is spectacular none the less
Best straight GPS function - Garmin
Best value in Black and White - Eagle 320 in the $150 flavor or 480 in the $200 flavor.
Perfect set up - no compromises would be:
Lowrance LCX113HD at the helm with transom ducer - $2,349
H'bird 1197C SI at the helm - $2,589
Lowrance LCX113 at the bow with TM ducer - $1,909
Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx handheld for back up - $400.
Now, throw in another $1,000 for networking the Lowrance units, Map chips, Ram Mounts for all, Software and chips.
Total package - $8,247. Hey, I said no compromises. Oh, what the hey, why not go ahead and mount an Eagle 480 on the back deck to give my partner something to watch while he fishes. What's another 2 Benjamins.
What does it show? Depth, temp, contour, bottom hardness, brush, stumps trees, drops etc. In addition, the GPS will show you contour lines and points of interest.

A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

Got a HB 797si on the rear end and a 727 on the troll motor, all works great, for about $1200.
I don't fish because I want to, I fish because I HAVE to !
Moma tried real hard.

any of the 3 sideimaging units from humminbird will change your fishing life as you know it. But be prepared to write a big check.

In this case, the most expensive would be the best. This thing looks like a flat screen TV sitting on your boat. If you night fish, no need to bring the lights, just swing the 1197 around and tilt it down a little.:D It should do the job.
