Getting ready to buy new fish finder for the boat......

[Ozark88]

Any suggestions. I've been looking for awhile now and have seen some pretty high tech stuff. My question is, does all of this stuff work as advertised. In reading reviews, I've heard the the Down Imaging doesn't work so great and that the GPS doesn't either. Other reviews say that it works great! So I thought I'd ask here instead of taking the reviews at Bass Pro and Cabela's as gospel. Probably looking to spend around 500.00. I do like the idea of having GPS and down imaging features if they are worth the extra money.

Ozark88 if you like Lowrance send Crappie Chatt or Shane a pm they both are Pro-Staff for Lowrance and will be able to answer some of your questions.

If you decide to buy one contact Brian he will save you some $$$$$ I bought a Lowrance Elite DSI and a MinnKota PD 70 I-Pilot and he gave me a great price on both.Try not to buy from Bass Pro or Cabelas I find them to be to pricey.I saved about $250 doing business with Brian.Good Luck!

How do you like the Elite DSI?

How do you like the Elite DSI?

I like it much better than 2d sonar Brushpiles,trees and other underwater structure is much easier to identify.

Does the DSI have shoot through the hull capability?

I think the HDS5 is still on sale.That's what I hope to get with the down imaging and side structure scan.And all the other bells and whistle's.Chatt and Shane are the expert's on them.

I know this Kansas site is dominated by Lowrance users. I personally like the Hummingbirds. With them you can have a split sonar/DSI screen at the same time. You can't with the Lowrance. I love the DSI it shows incredible detail. When water conditions are right you can see things just like the pictures in the catalogs. Its all about mounting the transducer though. I don't get detail at high speeds, under 5mph and its amazing.
