Is it worth the extra $1K ?
Is it worth the extra $1K ?
If you side scan a lot it may be. The 54 does a good job on side view; the 56 is a bit better.
Your also getting the newest Navionics mapping with the extra 1K
The GT56UHD cost $475
You can take advantage of the BPS sale and get the unit for much less and purchase the GT56 separately
You still save a fair amount of money and have a GT54 you can sell
But you will be getting the BlueChart/LakeVu mapping that in my opinion isn’t bad mapping at all

I'd also question, how do you plan on installing the transducer?? Trolling motor, transom?

I am also interested in hearing others opinion ,
I have seen some very good images with the gt54 but still not the quality of my humminbird SI .
Will the gt56 get me noticable images comparable to my humminbird .

Here’s a 34 clip. 54 without 2d. I have the 36 now and the picture isn’t any better but you get a lot more range with the 36/56. Just one man’s opinion.
I recently switched side scan transducers from the GT54 to the GT56 and it was worth the money. There is so much more detail with the GT56.
