Hello everybody

New to forum. Can anybody please, please help me. I want to buy a fish finder/ sonar and I'm nor sure which one. I want gps,finder and chat plotter. My budget is 7 to 8 hundred. Any body help. I have been looking at the lowrance units

I have the Lowrance elite 5 hdi combo without CHIRP and like it very much.  The Humingbired Onix looks real good too.

 

also look at fishfindersource.com and the fishfinders.com and the gpsstore.com and bestfishfinderguide.net and justfishfinders.com and portablefishfinderreviews.com

 

Those sights kept me busy for a while.

 

good luck.

859 series Humminbird. The standard and DI units are both within your budget.  If you can squeeze out a few extra bucks, you can get an 899 side imaging unit for around $850

Awesome thanks so much guys

Best unit for the money. 7" screen

If you can squeek out just a bit more, you can get a Lowrance HDS 7 Gen2 Touch for $900 with rebates now. They are really nice units and with their rebate right now, you can get it with the LSS-2 transducer so you will have side and down imaging.
