Bass Pro Marked Down Lowrance Hds Gen 1's

[BassnChris]

Maybe too late by now.....but Bass Pro marked down the Lowrance HDS Gen 1 Line.

HDS-5 $350

HDS-8 insight $999.99

HDS-10 base map $899.99

I picked up an HDS-10 insight for $999.99 !

Seemed like a steal to me?

Good luck to those interested.

Yes, that is a good price for the old technology. Those are two steps behind what Lowance has now with the Touch models.

For about $500 more you can add the imaging technology.

I purchased an HDS-7 Gen 2 Touch Christmas eve............I was looking for an additional unit so I could have something at the console and the bow.

I have been struggling wth which unit to get.......I had narrowed it down to an HDS-7 Gen 2 Base map for $899.99 or an HDS-7M Gen 2 Touch for around $1100.

I was just killing time and dropped by the Bass Pro to do a little button pushing and found the HDS-10 Gen 1 for $999.99.

I was thinking that since I had the Gen 2 touch with SS.......if I networked them.......I would get the benefit of the larger screen and the Gen 1 could do, I think, almost everything the Gen 2 would do....maybe a bit slower?

What do you think would be the best direction to go Wayne? I can still take the HDS-10 Gen 1 back to Bass Pro.

Thanks

Chris

I think you are going to like the HDS-10 better, not because it has a lower resolution display, but the images displayed will be larger and easier to see. I would put the 10 on the bow since it will be farther away from you when using it.

Additionally, you won't need a faster processer when operating the trolling motor so it makes no difference that the chart can't keep up with boat speed.

I would say you made a wise purchase.

Thank you Wayne. Your opinion is greatly valued.

With your opinion and Long Mike's opinion....I feel really good about the purchase.

Thanks to you and Mike!
