I'm looking at a Lowrance X96. Does anyone have any experience with this unit or another brand in the $200.00 price range? I have also looked at the Humminbird brand. I would appreciate any input you guys have.

Great little unit for the money. Another to consider is the Eagle Fishmark 320.

At that price point those are 2 very good ones.

In that price range, the HB 565 has a higher pixel count at 640 vertical which is twice the resolution of the X96 and Eagle Fishmark 320. It also has a higher power output: 2000W vs. 1500W

Thanks guys. I'll check out the 565 at the local BPS today. I have a low end Garmin that I have never been happy with and I'm ready to take a step up.

Humminbirds are very user friendly. And the 565 as a great screen high vertical pixels, higher than the x96.
