    ONLY 2 GRAPHS

    I currently have 3 with one on standby. 1 at the console and 2 at the bow. My current set up is 2 12" carbons and 1 8612. 1 carbon at console and 1 carbon and 1 garmin at the bow. Even though I have a ghost troller(being able to link is nice but.....).I would delete both lowerance lowerance unit and add a 1243 at the console. Just me... and I been a lowerance fan since the early mid 80's

    If the front graph is going to be for FFS I personally would look into getting the 16” NBT destroyer and move the 8612 to the console?
    I think the price difference is negligible and you would be getting a whole lot more screen? Just a thought. Some more research is probably in order for you on this?

    16 at console, 10 and 12 at bow for 360 and Livescope.

    Budget is everything...with everything. So much of this industry is sales, hell its all sales. Paying 3k for non functional screen is absurd. But guys drop 12k for a graph setup and 100k+ on boats now. So I guess whatever. It's your money

    I was all about the NBT when I first read about it. Then they dropped the price and I was wtf. Didn’t do a damn thing for us regular guys. $3,000 for a damn screen that does nothing else. I like the product, but that’s just screwing right there. Not that they care, but they’d never get a dime of my money.

    Way cheaper than a garmin 16 and you can't even buy a garmin 22 gimbal mount. Not saying its a bargain or anything, but they offer a product that can save the consumer some money for a big screen.

    I have only 2 graphs on my boat; one Helix 7 at bow and one Helix 7 at console and they are perfect for what I do.

    It's non functional though. It's a display unit. It's basically buying a computer screen and running HDMI to it

    HA still running a 898 at the console and 898 and the bow. Mostly use bow 898 for mapping waypoints for brush. That new fangled ffs deal is still expensive to me. No more than I would be using it I can't justify it. Would like to get a few helix9s though to replace the 898s

    12" Elite TI2 on bow and one on console with an HDS 7 Touch on a RAM mount next to the console unit. Works fine for me for now.

    Garmin 12 inch on bow for live scope 10 inch hummingbird on console that I barely ever turn on... And yes, still rocking a fortrex trolling motor/ Cannot justify spending $3000 on a trolling motor that will be in the shop all the time..... I've had a fortrex for eight years It's been flawless- no power poles either can't justify the cost of that and I still finish in the top three every year in my very competitive club

    Garmin 95SV at console with a Helix 5 in dash at console. Garmin does my mapping side and down vu. Helix is for 2D sonar. Garmin 106SV at the bow. More then happy with this setup for fishing.
