RenegadeBassin Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Humminbird just added the solix 10 to the lineup, there's a mega si model for $2300 and a chirp gps model for $2000. Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted November 16, 2017 Global Moderator Posted November 16, 2017 Only $300 more for MEGA? That's a no brainer. Still at a price I'll never be able to afford. Lol Quote
RenegadeBassin Posted November 16, 2017 Author Posted November 16, 2017 Yeah I still would go with a helix over the solix right now because they have what appears to be most all the same features in a cheaper package...maybe a little bit worse of a screen resolution? And no 15'' screen. But either way, the helix mega imaging still is incredible. Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted November 16, 2017 Global Moderator Posted November 16, 2017 I agree. I would go for the Helix as well. I can't get enough of the MEGA imaging screen shots either. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 16, 2017 Super User Posted November 16, 2017 The touch screen is pretty sweet. My buddy has a Solix 12 on his boat, and I had a hard time going back to the buttons on my Helix. Quote

My buddy has a Solix 12 on his boat, and I had a hard time going back to the buttons on my Helix. How do the touch screens do in the rain or with wet fingers/screens? I imagine that was considered and taken care of before hand. I know my work Toughbook gets a little finicky when the screen gets moisture. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 16, 2017 Super User Posted November 16, 2017 No clue, I haven't fished with him in the rain. I'll ask, though. Quote
