I know this for a fact because I have owned a 700 series HB. I've owned/witnessed larger screen units. 80+ft per side may be fine on a large screen unit, but it's going to be harder to interpret on a smaller screen. That's just a fact. I'm not trying to kill any thread or continue your pissing match.

ok, ill go that .what you said about that youve own a 700 series and you feel qualified to comment.now if you would go out on that boat with your friend that has the 360 youall be able to comment in the same context.

Good point ricky...

I also switch to SI "one side only" .....when running parallel to bank looking for bream beds...it makes the targets alot bigger on the screen...
