Jacob Krahenbil Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Hey yall so I have a small bass tracker with a 25 HP motor. Got a new Lorance fish finder for the front. It has side scan I think but no GPS still trying to figure it out. But I want another fish finder right beside the console. If like to get one that has GPS. Any suggestions around 400 bucks? And also how would I mount it? Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted February 5, 2016 Super User Posted February 5, 2016 What is the Tracker model and what is the Lowrance model? Quote
eddallen Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Lowrance, during the Bass Pro Spring Fishing Classic has some super deals going. Bundled deals with StructureScan and deals on Gen-2 touch screen HDS units. You also get BPS Triple Crown deals as well. Great units....Great savings! Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted February 5, 2016 Super User Posted February 5, 2016 Rebates going on too for the new models. Quote

Jacob Krahenbil Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 So I have a bass tractor with a 25 HP. I believe it's a pro team 175. The lowan is a elite 5x chirp i think. The one without a gps Quote

Until this year you could not get Side Scan unless you had a HDS unit with the Structure Scan transducer. If you want side scan in that price range, then the new models for this year featuring the Total Scan transducer would be your only choice with a Lowrance product. The Elite 5 Ti would be as close to that price range and I think there are new product rebates going on this month. Do a web search for that model to see its capabilities, very good for the price. There should be a flat spot on the right side of the console to put it. Quote

Super User Wayne P. Posted February 6, 2016 Super User Posted February 6, 2016 Lots of choices, just do not get one with "X" in the model name. Quote
Bass newb Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Can't beat the garmin 73sv Has awesome maps , gps, sidescan, downscan, split frequency traditional sonar, and can be found for $500 or $550 at the bps spring sale. I got mine at cabelas for $500 last thanksgiving online. Garmin is offering the most value for the money of any of the brands right now. Beat that for $500. Quote
