Ok everyone, let's have some fun, this is a two part question.  If money was not a factor(I know, I know, it always is) and you wanted the best, what finder/gps, mapping system would you have on the boat?  Eagle, Lowrance, Humminbird???  What?

Second, what would it be if you were on a budget?  Say 700 to 1000 bucks.  Let's hear it.

i also have the 332c and it is excelllent.  plus it is at the low end of your price range.

I am currently having the X-25c and the 332c installed in my boat as we speak. I personally like Lowrance the best, but that is just my opinion. I have the LMS-480 on my other boat (for the lakes that we cant use gas motors or can't get our big boats into)

Having used lowrance, bottomline, garmin, and eagle, I would buy the bottomline and lowrance modles again. If money wasn't a factor, I'd probaby go with the lowrance LCX-111c HD on dash as well as on the front, they have have the ability to share info as well as the same antenae, plus the 600 x 800 pixel count with 4,000 peak to peak watts doesn't hurt ether. with that kind of a buget, I'd go twin LMS 480's or just a single LCX-17M, I'd say the LMS-332C, but as far as I can tell it only offers 2,400 peak-to-peak watts, the color is cool but the high res. is a must to me.

Well color me "old school" but I just need somethin' to tell me how deep it is, maybe structure on the bottom and how hard it is.  Then I use my 6th (Bass) sense to do the rest.  So just a long pole iffin the ol' electronics get fried.

Probably the reason I finish near the bottom most times.
