The Lowrance fishfinders are top of the line. You can add a broadband sounder to a Globalmap 8200 (8.4" screen), or the Lcx37 and you will have a superior sonar fishfinder, and
you will not need a high dollar transducer.
If a Garmin gps/chartplotter rates an a+, then the Lowrance models rate an a-.

Thanks for the replies, Where would be the best place to buy?. Some recommend BOE .

Prices seem pretty completive from what I'm seeing online.

Boe is an "authorized" Lowrance dealer, and will match any other price you can find
if their's isn't the lowest. Best part in you can talk to real people. Jim
knows the business and it ready to help.

PUGGS; Or anyone else.. How does that new stuff work offshore? I have had Lowrance LCX-15, 16a, 19 and the 110 on my last boat over the years. I was never satisfied with the transom mount ducer. I also had a series of transducer failures, four to be exact. I have been holding out for the Furuno NAVNET 3D, but it looks like it will never get here and what has been delivered has not held up to expectations as far as zoomed in map detail goes. I may be going back to Lowrance, I do like the display heads and only had issues with the ducers. Maybe the BB ducer has solved past issues.

hi ken,i drill many holes in my boat to get what i think is the best location.I bought the broadband sounder this year and so far so good, i will be able to let you no this week. i also had bottom locking problems in the past in deep water,the broadband sounder has a new screen for salt water and deep water. ken call me with a report will be down on the 4th at sunset.
