    I just recently upgraded an old eagle finder to a humminbird 777c2 and love it. it shows structure and fish soooo much easier/better. Plus it has a color LCD screen, easy menus, etc. I love it.

    The eagles are really good entry level graphs...thats what I have. The 640c would be a good one...thats in that price range. The Lowrance 510c is a little pricer but still nice. I don't know about the humminbirds. Good luck!!

    something else that may be helpful...google humminbird, eagle, and lowrance emulators....these are normally downloadable and will allow you to play with features, buttons, functions, etc... on each unit you download...gives a good representation of the unit. Its just like using the simulator on the real unit...without acutally having the unit.

    Eagle's download page:

    Product Emulators | Eagle

    Lowrance download page:

    Product Emulators | Lowrance


    do not know humminbird's but do a search and you can find it. Just download to your desktop, install and start pushing buttons...great try before you buy setup. Good luck!

    I recently bought a Lowrance X96 for $199 at Gander Mountain and I am extremely pleased with it. It is not color but it has like 16 shades of gray and the detail is amazing.

    Just make sure that you get a dual beam.
