check out the tzt xl range
i had a hds 12 live and upgraded to a tzt and the difference is astounding! picture clarity ease of use and operating systems are amazing! and everything is there at a swipe of the hand. furuno for the win, if tzt is out of your range look at the gp1971f

That's the sounder I just
That's the sounder I just bought Jeff and still waiting to get on the water to give it a run. But playing around with it at home it's awesome.
Love the West!

they are mint!!
ive had mine a couple of months now and its mind blowing the difference in read and clarity from the hds! takes a little getting used to though! ive just added the sat compass so ive got heave and pitch now so nice driving through rough water just actually seeing the real bottom not wave and swell too

Simrad/Lowrance same same
If you don't like the Lowrance chances are you won't like the simrad as they are basically the same (same company and underlying code is the same with slight differences in the user interface).

simrad is good
tvg and colour erase settings lowrance dont have! add a p66 or 1 kw if your going deeper
