I have to agree 100% with sixfin on this. I have a 7 but just recently bought the 8. That 8 blows the 7 out of the water. First the screen size is better, the quickset buttons add to it. On the seven you have to keep going back into the menu if you need to change something. Plus it's nice to have that 3/4way split on the screen and see it all. The window are a little small but it's all infront of you.

I'm still playin' around with it but the manual says that you get better clarity on 800khz and better distance on 480. I will change it and see what happens.

Very cool pics. thanks for teasing me

On you 2nd picture , on the left side of your bed , what is the streak going from top to bottom ? My guess its air bubbles from an anchor you dropped??

Tha's propwash from where I had made a pass over it before.

In your second screen shot, before you got the the bed is that all fish lieing all allong the bottom??? I know the cloud streaking from the top of the water column is prop-wash but what white cloudy lookin stuff is lieing all over the bottom. To me it would have to be something just off the bottom I would think, just because You can distinctly tell bottom.

nice shots

I don't have HB or Lowrance SI, but from the pictures I have seen I think I like the Lowrance better...

I'll wait until the dust settles to make a choice..:)

Crappiecrazed,
I'm not real sure what that is holding off the bottom. Its small whatever it is. We have been catching some scattered bluegill here and there strange as it may seem.
