Hi All,
Looking at these finders with the big screen that are currently on sale for ~ 1600. Seems like a good deal compared to what they were recently selling for. Understanding there will be another $500 to sink in the structure scan and more for the map. Question I have for the guys that own these large expensive finders is do you feel they truly helped put fish in the boat when a 5 inch screen would not have? A few years back I purchased the Humminbird 798 with side scan and while I really like the unit I cannot say the side and down scan added much value. Most likely I am not using it as intended or the screen is too small to pick up the important details but I don't feel the additional cost for those features was justified by the benefit I received. Do you feel like having these finders with a bigger screen really makes a difference in your ability to find and catch fish over the smaller screened ones?
