I bought my first bass boat a couple weeks ago and I'm looking to buy some fish finders for it. Looking for opinions on the best setup I can get for around $1500. Only Humminbird has contour maps of my local lake that I fish the most (and I already have a southeast smart strike card) so I'd prefer to stick with them.
I am not opposed to buying units used on ebay and I will do so if possible. I have been kayak fishing for a couple years and I already have a garmin striker plus 4cv and humminbird helix 5 chirp di gps g2 which I can use or sell to increase my budget. I'd like to have side imaging/2d sonar/gps at the console and 2d sonar/gps at the bow with networking between them so I can share my waypoints. It'd be nice to be able to see the side imaging at the bow over networking as well if possible.
I saw some helix 9 mega si g2n units that were selling for around $900-1000 now since the g3n units are out so I was thinking of grabbing one of those for the console and then trying to find an older unit with a big screen like a humminbird 1198 for the bow. Not sure how compatible they are with networking though. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
