Tune that sucker up properly and learn to use it. It is fine. Save that coin for rods and tackle. Save some more coin then upgrade.

i did go over the BBG marine website, all i can say is it boggles the mind what he list, not alot in stock,but to make a decision is very difficult at the moment, i see some say maps, are these maps of lakes that have to be loaded in the unit, are units like this popular, school me.. confusing....

chet

Chet....does this unit have CHIRP sonar?

[chetc]

Brian got back to me and suggested 2 units. one was the helix 7 and the garmin 73sv. the garmin according to brian has a little more power and a touch screen. any thoughts on what would be a more user friendly unit ect.

I would not want the touch screen if you fish alot during the winter.

after more reading on these 2 units, question i have is am leaning towards the helix 7, would shallow water performance be the same in both units, and if i am right they both have 2d sonar. other than the garmin with touch screen. any thoughts. i think if i read correctly the garmin might have a better imaging due to a more powerful transducer, am i on the right track in understanding...

You should invest in side imaging in your next unit. That is the single most important function of a sonar for me.

Agree on calling BBG Marine. Amazon typically is NOT the best deal on fishfinders. There is no better bargain than the garmin 93 sv UHD for $599. Hope some place can help you find one without sales tax and shipping.

that sounds like a fantastic price, is that with a transducer and mapping, and if i may ask where can i find that deal if i decide on the 93sv uhd

chet
ps i did find one at sheels. but it quoted Garmin ECHOMAP UHD 93sv with GT54UHD-TM Transducer is not currently available online.

what is the difference on the gt54uhd and the gt56uhd

chet
i did find a garmin 93sv uhd with the gt54uhd for 599.00 locally, dicks sporting goods has it in stock model number is 010 02342 01
