    Question Best options for two graphs on the console ???

    I am looking at a ranger bass boat that has two Elite 7 chirp DI model graphs on it.
    So I am thinking best to sell them, since I like Humminbird much better.

    I would like to put two 7 inch graphs on the console.
    Run GPS/Maps and Side Imaging on one, and 2d sonar and down scan on the other graph.

    What are my best options ?
    Best cost effective plan ??

    Two Helix 7 gen 2s ??

    Thank you

    If you want to share data between them, it has to be the Helix 7 G2N series.

    The SI model uses 83/200 kHz sonar and 455 kHz Side Imaging and 455 kHz blended Down Imaging.

    The DI model uses 200/455 kHz sonar and 455/800 kHz Down Imaging.

    The Sonar model uses 83/200 kHz sonar.

    To get the most for the least cost, you can pair the SI and Sonar model, share the SI transducer, and choose any of the three sonar technologies to display on either unit. Just won't have dedicated DI with that setup.

    Some of what you save on unit cost can be used to upgrade the SI transducer to the HDSI and get sharper images. You can do the same with the SI and DI paired models
