[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5457518, member: 6230"] stay away from lowrance hook, period. garmin has their fall sales going on. this is probably going to be your best deal on a brand new garmin 9". i used to order quite a bit from this company when i couldnt get a better deal from dealer pricing. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thegpsstore.com/GPS-Units/Chart-Plotters/Garmin-ECHOMAP-UHD-93sv-with-LakeVu-G3-Charts-and-Transducer[/URL] the gt54 works fine, not as much distance(power) than the 56 but still usable in water 50 ft deep or less. 455khz mode is killer for fish returns on sidevu. for 300 bucks more to your budget you can add lvs32 at the bow unit.
