Just got a new pontoon and looking for a fairly nice inexpensive unit. I found the Lowrance hook 9's on sale for about $550 at west marine. Had a helix 9 on my last boat. Anybody have one and can give me a little input. If the unit is pretty good, can't beat the price for a 9 inch. I use the di and sonar and maps. Had SI on my last unit, but did not use it often so not really looking for that feature.
The Hook series is a stand alone unit series ...
If networking is in your future = Hook series should be off the list ...

what if you couldn't care less about networking. trying to catch a few crappie, but still can catch them with a cane pole when necessary.Quote:

Networking will probably not be an issue on the pontoon. I will probably put a trolling motor on it, but probably not another unit. I went ahead and ordered it, but it is now backordered for almost a month.
Hook series is definately a valid option if networking is not in your future ...Quote:
