Before anyone wants to crow about how long their warranty is. It can be 10 years if the company does not stand behind it does you no good. All these complaints on the web about Lowrance customer service are not imaginary nor or they false. Because you personally have not cause to use their CS doesn't mean there is no use for it. To state otherwise is like saying that dog does not bite because he hasn't bit you.

Do not let your substansial investment make you blind to a fault that does exist. It is a sign of intelligence to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Blind loyalty does no one any good.

Way back in 1964 gun buyers were loyal to the Winchester name. WInchester execs at the time took advantage of this and started producing junk. That is why the phrase pre 1964 means so much as to a Winchesters present value. Since info flow was so slow they did coast for a couple of years making junk. But finally the word got out.

I am NOT saying Lowrance is presently making junk. What I am saying is where there is smoke there is fire. Every company has complaints its how they handle them that defines their true corporate mission. If you cannot fathom that I will understand that I am spurring a dead horse on this subject.
Looks to me like there wll be no end to the controversy in comparing these two units. Obviously there are alot of HB faithfuls on here that have been so use to having there product at the top of the totem pole that they cannot not even give credit where credit is due... Bottom line---the images from Lowrance are 5 times better than the ones from HB, bottom line!!!! Anybody with half good eyesight can see that... Now the customer service part of it might be a different story. Maybe HB's cs is far better. Maybe not... But the thing is, if you hardly ever have to use it(like alot of people on here have stated that have lowrance) then what does it matter...All I'm saying is right now I think Lowrance has a considerable edge on HB even if they do have sluggish costumer service. Even more--HB better hope Lowrance hasn't stepped up there cs department because that would not be good for them...Have already seen quite a few people on here make the switch from HB to Lowrance. Only time will tell.:D:D
