This has to be the longest running thread i have ever seen, 59 pages, WOW. Now to hte point. I have been looking at a new combo system and from what I hear the lowrance can't be beat on the GPS/chart plotter side but is not as good on the sonar side. and the humminbird is just the opposite with the garmin falling inbetween. Would you guys say thats a fair opinion I've been hearing.
