Looking at a new fish finder gps combo for my new inshore boat. Settled on Lowrance but not sure which unit, would appreciate some input from those in the know.
Lowrance HDS 5 with 50/200 khz xd $799.99
dsi would cost another $600.00, that might be too much for me.
Lowrance Elite 5 with 83/200 khz xd $549.99
nice but not dsi now or ever.
Lowrance Elite 5 dsi with dsi xd $719.99
This was my choice until I found out it doesn’t have std 200khz xd just dsi. I have read the dsi works best at 8mph. I don’t plan on running that speed all the time. How well does it work at cruising speed, say 30mph?
My personal max is about $800-$900. I would like the dsi but I think the std 200khz xd is a must.
Anyone have or use one of these? Specifically the dsi. Is it worth them money?
All these prices are from Best Buy, I just used them to be consistent.
