OH-bass614 Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 On my boat now i have a old lcr 400 or something like that by hummingbird but i want something with more bottom detail. i have two options i can get a lowrance x96 used for 90 bucks or a new hummingbird 565 for 200 now i really like the hummingbird as from what i understand has a 60* beam and the x96 only has a 20* i believe correct me if i am wrong. but i am most wanting good bottom detail so halp me make the decision is the hummingbird worth the extra 110 dollar?

Super User BrianinMD Posted December 3, 2008 Super User Posted December 3, 2008 Oddly enough I had the same unit, the 400 lcr when I bought my boat. Went out and got the 565 and have not been disappointed at all. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted December 3, 2008 Super User Posted December 3, 2008 Go with the 565. You will not regret it. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 3, 2008 Super User Posted December 3, 2008 The 565 has a higher resolution display and a dual beam transducer with 20 and/or 60 degree coverage. Quote
