On my boat now i have a old lcr 400 or something like that by hummingbird but i want something with more bottom detail. i have two options i can get a lowrance x96 used for 90 bucks or a new hummingbird 565 for 200 now i really like the hummingbird as from what i understand has a 60* beam and the x96 only has a 20* i believe correct me if i am wrong. but i am most wanting good bottom detail so halp me make the decision is the hummingbird worth the extra 110 dollar?

Oddly enough I had the same unit, the 400 lcr when I bought my boat. Went out and got the 565 and have not been disappointed at all.

Go with the 565. You will not regret it.

The 565 has a higher resolution display and a dual beam transducer with 20 and/or 60 degree coverage.

i ended up just geting the x96 just because of deal i was getting. i saved 110 dollars so i think it evened out
