So not trying to start a lowrance vs hummingbird war here...just indecisive about what to get. I've had both in the past but sold everything off and now I'm starting over. I'm looking at 2 units right now. I know a little more about lowrance than I do birds...
Lowrance unit I'm looking at is elite 9ti with total scan
humminbird is the gen 1 helix 10 si
i can probably get the lowrance for a decent deal off a sponsor here and I can buy the helix 10si for $890 new in the box. The helix seems like a pretty good savings off retail.
I need units for the bow and console. I don't really need all the gadgets. Just looking for 2d(chirp would be a plus), down image, side image, maps, and sharing of waypoints.
what would you do and why?
