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]

A little more info ....

Most boaters that purchased the 1650, later wished that they had bought the bigger screen 1850.

I can not find my notes, but besides the bigger screen there were a few 1850 slight differences. I believe metal housing, 1kw transducer and remote control options.
