Opinions on Humminbird 717

[tnmule]

I just picked one of these up for $129 at Academy. I know the 565 has better resolution but for the price I think I did pretty well. Let me know your opinions of this unit. Is the dual beam a nice feature? Thanks

I bought a 717 back in March and I have "Zero" complaints with it...and for $129, you done excellent!!!...It shows structure very well and the depth, fish, and water temp is consistent with my other HB and my Eagle. I originally bought it for the "GPS Compatability" feature, but I have never used it for a GPS. The dual beam seems to work nicely on it...I think you will be well pleased with it and congrats on the good deal!!
