I finally have enough gift cards to start seriously shopping for some badly needed new electronics. I have been trying to find some used Hummingbird 898 units. I hear great things about them. The stores don't sell them anymore. Lately I've been doing alot of research on the Lowrance Elite 7 TI...anyone have any thoughts on this unit? The new Gen 3 stuff is out of the question, cant drop that much cash with two little kids. I looked at the new Onyx and Helix, but have been leaning to the Lowrance model. The Lowrance also comes witha free Navionics Plus card. Just looking for opinions

A humming bird is tougher. Lowrance clearer image. Both good I have owned both many times over my advice get the lowrance F2W

Such a hard question. I have been a lowrance guy my entire life. I would look seriously hard at the hummingbird. I haven’t looked at them lately. I would also get the minn Kota spot lock. I would love it. I do feel these electronics are getting silly expensive. Good luck with our decision.

Lowrance has an incredible sale going on right now at BPS. Get previously expensive features at rock bottom prices and expect them to release something much better soon LOL. F2W

I personally like the Lowrance much better. Easier to use. Check out BBG Marine Electronics. His prices are usually cheaper than Bass Pro. The price shown on the ad on his website is usually cheaper when you click on it. The ones I have bought from Brian have been around $50.00 cheaper than Bass Pro. I have bought 2 units from him in the past few years. Depends on which unit you choose.

Smoke did you get the unit installed. If so where and if on Tm, what kind of Tm is it on. My partner is going to add a 9 ti2 to my boat. We want it up front for off shore fishing during winter
