Canadave Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I did a lot of research and finally decided to buy a Humminbird 570 DI to replace my 9 year old Lowrance X65 that bit the dust last Fall. I found a review comparing it to the Lowrance Mark 5X DI or whatever and the review said they were comparable but the Humminbird had more pixels. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this Humminbird or DI technology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coreyhkh Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I got the 700 version With DI and GPs and love it, its pretty simple to use just read the book or just take it out for a day and play around with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I tend to refer to them as "sonar units, "Dufus"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Did you get the grey one or the black one, Dave? I think black would go better with your brown fishing rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Did you get the grey one or the black one, Dave? I think black would go better with your brown fishing rod. Wouldn't his black rod be a better match with either the black or grey scale, just thinking out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Oh and I fixed it so they won't call you "MINNOW" anymore Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez that opens up a whole other list of possibilities, Chris. What colour is that Harbercraft of yours Dave? I don't remember. Seems to me it was white and blue in which case you might be better off with the grey sonar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 What colour is that Harbercraft of yours Dave? I don't remember. I thought it was Fushcia, or something along those lines. Could be a clash issue all round I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I thought it was Fushcia, or something along those lines. Could be a clash issue all round I think. Maybe the OP would like to borrow one of my Hawaiian shirts! He's bound to find a colour match there! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Don't worry about the color of the unit Dave just put it in the purse that matches the boat and they won't know the difference. If you post a few screen shots from it I will help you figure it out. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle of the minds, I'll concede quickly. Thanx for the input guys. I feel a lot more confident now about having made the correct decision based on my sartorial expertise. The Humminbird 570 only comes in black which fortunately co-ordinates quite smartly with my spark plug wires. The yellow trim on it is a tad too gay for my liking ... not that there's anything wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell's a sufud? Hey Corey ... How can you afford the 700 series? Did you finally get a job or did your mother lend you the money as a Christianing present?
