Hey Doug,

How's it going up there? I bought the Lowrance x-19 with a chip for Lake Ontario. The resolution is awesum and it works well in sunlight. I'd do it again.

Garmin has some nice offerings in the same price range and if resolution is not important, Garmin has the 188c way cheaper.

Furuno 1850 DGPS..Best in my opinion. Around 1600.00

I currently use a lowrance 18x with the gps add on,This is one awesome unit great at night or day
very user friendly and has an awesome built in map datum. I signed up for a credit card and got 10% off both units and saved over 100$$ ended up around 1k

I support the 4 fishfinder theory.

From what I've seen I like the Lowrance for REALLY Fast redraws and AWESOME graphics and where it might be a good deepwater unit, the mapping features do not overzoom enough for productive use on concentrated rocky & structured areas. You can only overzoom to about.4 miles where you can get down to .18 on the Garmin. But the Garmin doesn't approach the dollar value of the Lowrance in screen size and display quality.

I wish I still had my source for 1650/1850 units at GREAT prices [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
