I have $600 to spend and want a FF with side imaging. What do you guys recommend? I was looking at Garmins but the Transducer lawsuit issue I have concerns about. Seeing they don't offer the GT transducer as a package deal.

This is what I found regarding the lawsuit, personally I would not be concerned about purchasing a Garmin if we are speaking about the same issue it's been a couple of years already.Quote:

In the latest round in a legal tussle between two marine electronics heavyweights, Garmin has reassured its dealers and customers that it has not shipped any product with the technology the International Trade Commission says infringes on Navico patents.
“We are [COLOR=#67B045 !important]shipping[/COLOR] products that have a new design and are not subject to this ruling,” says Garmin vice president of worldwide sales Dan Bartel. “The ITC ruling has no impact on Garmin product already purchased by Garmin customers and dealers, or any products purchased going forward.”
Helix 7 0r 9 G2N w/SI thank they will get cheaper they are marking them down now. My buddy just got a 7 for 599.00 with SI
Hard to beat the HB. Get the largest screen you can afford! Especially with SI.
Find someone upgrading

I would go to Cabelas & Bass Pro if in your area,and play with all 3 Humminbird,Lowrance and Garmin.Whatever one you like best,go home and shop the Internet for the best deal you can find.Let us know which one you choose.
Keep saving
Call Brian at BB and G Marine and ask for closeouts . No matter what you get it will be obsolete in 12 mo. or less . I have no problem being two yrs. behind . I have bought used and had just as good a luck as buying new . Great folks on here . I tend to shop only if they have 500 or more post (that's just me ) . Not worth losing friends over a few bucks .
I am going to sell my 1199 si am up grading , have not put it on board yet , just changing over,in great shapeQuote:

Put my hands on the Garmin Striker Plus 9sv today and really like the ease of use. Also played around with the Helix 7 chirp SI G2 and if real world application is as clear as the simulation mode, I am sold! Can anyone confirm this?Quote:

I have owned all 3 like Humminbird the best.Which I had the Mega but no complaints with my Gen 1 Helix 10's Si & Di
I bought a Helix 7 when they came out and has bubbles under the screen and DI/SI only worked for a month or so. Worst unit I’ve ever had. Has me tainted on anything bird. Now sits in garage and soon to be in dumpster. My lowrance elite 7 and hook 7ts have worked very well and get me on the fishies on the cheap.
lowrance sells refurb products with warranty. fair prices i guess.

My buddy has a Garmin. My brother has Lowrance. I upgraded to Mega imaging this year. Its unreal how much more detail the Mega has. I
On your budget, the Helix 7 mega is the best choice.
Good luck !
Hows the Mega down imaging?Quote:
