>>1983594Spend on a nice unit. Overall I'm happy with my Lowrance but wish I'd bought a smaller, higher quality unit for the same money. Big screens are nice but not necessary, and my unit sometimes freezes or gives weird readings and I can spend 5 minutes plus rebooting it if I'm hole hopping. No problems in the canoe. Despite issues I can't imagine fishing without it. Side imaging/downscan are sometimes helpful but honestly I would go without no problem.
