I have been kicking it around for a while now and finally pulled the trigger. Although I have nothing at all against Lowrance, I have always owned a Humminbird...Until now!! I am going to install a new Lowrance Elite 7 with a new Navionics card on the boat this weekend..Still gonna keep the HB 798 on the console but putting the new toy up front with the transducer mounted on the trolling motor. Can't wait to try it out at Eufaula next weekend!!

Should be interesting to see how closely each brand tracks, let us know which one catches more fish,for sure!
I don't know if you read the rules on the crescent slabtogether..............no fish finder/depth finder/GPS tracking device equipment may be used on the day of event........

It ain't too late to take it back.
I heard Chucky and Earl had the screwdrivers and wrench sets looking for you :Rofl
You still got time to return for refund.
Or upgrade to a HB. :RoflQuote:

With the Elite 7 on the bow and the 798 on the console, I'll easily be able to compare the 2. The main comparison I want to make is how fast the Elite 7 will update the GPS. The main reason for going with this is because the HB 859 ($573) was out of stock and I found the Elite 7 ($514) was in stock and cheaper...Ford/Chevy, Johson/Mercury, Wally Marshall/BnM, etc...They are all pretty good for the most part, just mainly preference. But one thing is for sure, I'll give you my honest opinion of the Elite 7 in a couple of weeks!!:highfive
We will be waiting for that report.
Do let me know. They have some prices on the unit. I like the 7 inch screen.
Tim, does your unit have the Overlay feature? I really would like to know how that works.
Thanks
Damifino, Danbo...I'll check...Unless you are talking about the way Navionics overlays on the GPS map...Then it does.
The New Elite 7 has a feature that overlays the DI to the Sonar Image. It looks dern good on the demo.
"DownScan Imaging Overlay - Exclusive technology overlays DownScan Imaging onto Broadband Sounder display for one stunning view that separates and clearly exposes fish targets from surrounding structure. Overlay transparency and color palettes are fully adjustable."
I'll be checking on that and let you know.
