    Default Better unit for the price than Lowrance Elite-4x CHIRP? Making new purchase soon


    I want to upgrade from my older Humminbird Fishing Buddy 120 to one of the newer high resolution models with downscan. It is going in a small 8' boat so am comfortable sticking with the relatively smaller screen like on the Lowrance Elite-4x. I don't need GPS. Right now I'm leaning towards the Elite-4x but only because I'm not sure if Humminbird or Garmin have a similar unit.

    I see Humminbird has a 678c HD DI model, but it is bigger and looks like almost twice as much. I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking a better unit or value. Thanks for any recommendations!

    Not sure you can beat the price on that unit for DI right now. Might call Brian at BBGMarine though.he is great to help out on things like this and will shoot you straight.
