Help deciding

[rduffy75]

I currently have one 93sv at bow and one at the console.
I have the panoptix live view ($1500 setup) not installed YET.

I am looking at the force TM and maybe 2 more graphs. Would like to get uhd models one for console one for bow. Pretty sure my 93sv will be used for only maps. I do want all of them networked. What would all of you recommend?

Anyone know of the best deals out there? Looking to maximize my spend.

Thanks

Are they the regular 93sv Non Plus??? If so, they will NOT network with the newer units nor use the Livescope system.

[rduffy75]

They are the plus units but not the uhd units

[rduffy75]

Should I be considering anything other than the ultra 10 or 12?

[fishin couillon]

Ok, all Plus, UHD Plus and Ultra Plus will network with each other.....the GPSmap series will not network with them. Soooo with that said the if you have the money, i'd pick the Ultra unit over the UHD.....same thing just bigger screen......

[rduffy75]

So you think the force with either 2 10 ultras or 12 ultras?

What else would I need? Should i add a GPS puck? A network switch?

The ultras come with uhd correct?

Anything else I should consider adding console or bow?

I would go ultra if it were me,but the uhd 93 is at a good price

Russell Marine has a recent vid that goes over the Garmin options. I learned and made me reconsider my current HDS setup and how t economically upgrade to a spot lock TM. Frankly, I may be more confused as what path to take at this point with all the options out there.

I Might go uhd on the console and 12 ultra on the bow. Just not sure on the benifit of ultra on the console. I spend 80% on the bow anyways

Yeah I'm not sure how much of each I will be doing up here along the columbia river does ultra use uhd transducer? Will have to wait and see what prices I can find.

[fishin couillon]

Yes, the Ultra can use the UHD ducer(s).

I'm with yah, man. I'm looking to upgrade the TM to a spot-lock model with HDS electronics. Have to sit down with pencil and calculator to see what is best, moneywise.
