reelinrolly Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Hey guys I am looking at getting a fish finder for both the bow an console of my boat I will be doing a lot of drop shorting. And would like to have both units networked together I have a $2000 budget to work with. Any suggestions??

hirk Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 How deep and what kind of cover do you usually fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapshooter Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I have a Humminbird 788 on the bow and a 898 at the back. Sweet graphs that are networked together. Should be close to your price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfanatic25 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) A Lowrance HDS7 Gen2 on the console and HDS5 Gen2 at the bow would be a nice combo to have networked together and would put you right under that $2000 mark and you would still have the option of adding the Structure Scan side/down imaging at a later date if you wanted.

moemoe Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 sail actually has the hds 7 gen 2 on for 749, plus a 150 rebate, 2 would put you well below your target price, rebate is a visa gift card though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I bought a new Bird 798 with side image & down scan. Love this unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 A Lowrance HDS7 Gen2 on the console and HDS5 Gen2 at the bow would be a nice combo to have networked together and would put you right under that $2000 mark and you would still have the option of adding the Structure Scan side/down imaging at a later date if you wanted. I CONCUR.......a NETWORKED unit on the bow and console is the VERY BEST you can have...while you punch in a way point on one unit, it also gets entered on the other unit...when you make manual adjustments to one unit the other also receives the commands...and you can SHARE either transducers on the boat...front mounted or transom mounted transducers...so there is no interference whatsoever.....networked Lowrance units are the best of both worlds.

Handlebarz Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Rolly head over to Woodstock and talk to Josselyn he will take you the right way you need to go he is the best around hands down. His prices are also great. He will set the units up for you no messing around and no Bull. His customer service is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
