I am considering purchasing the lowrance elite 5hdi. it is just the older model of the new elite 5 chirp. do not need all of the extras with the new one.also like the price vs new model. who has one of these and how do you like it. thanks loads.
I’ve had that one for 3 years now. I like it just fine. Would get another in a heartbeat.
I like mine a lot. no problems
Thanks guys. that is what we have on the way. it will be perfect for what we do on lake murray
Youll like it. I have had mine about a year now and no problems.

I put an Elite 5 Chirp on my pontoon so I could scout while riding the wife around Murray. I think you’re missing out if you don’t have the chirp unit. I can mark fish at 30mph…you can’t do that with HDI. Chirp technology really enhances fish finding capabilities…

Great prices all around on the older elite 5, though the chirp sonar seems like a pretty significant advancement in sonar tech., at least that’s what the manufacturers would have you believe.I think I’m going with an elite 7 chirp.
