Looking for a new set up and I have read a ton of stuff on here but want your honest opinions. Pretty sure I’m going with Humminbird.

Do I Need gps on the bow? I really just use it to find stuff, depth and fish on top of structure. I don’t spider rig or troll. I don’t mind throwing a buoy to hold my spot.

Color on the bow unit, is it worth it?

To DI or not to DI on the bow, that is the question?

Looking at SI for the dash so the question and the answer is most likely yes – is the bigger screen on the 800 series worth the extra 4 or 500 bucks over the 700?

I’m looking for functionality here and trying not to get fancy.

All the newer si units have an internal gps antenna?

I may replace the bow unit first and keep considering the si and if I need it but definitely want a good gps on the dash. Any thoughts?

Any insight will be helpful before I pull the trigger. THANKS!
