I had a Lowrance DSI 5 on my H20B and quickly went to an HDI 7. It's like the motor debate. Get as much as you can afford. Obligatory

Just bought a new boat that came with a 7 inch garmin. Had it changed and upgraded to a 9 inch lowrance hds 3 touch screen and couldn't be happier. I have a hds gen 2 5inch in my duck boat and am happy with that as well. I have a legend cartography geaux card in the gen 3 and the standard mapping card in the gen 2. I prefer the standard mapping card bc some places are mislabeled on the geaux card. Overall I am very happy with lowrance.

We just got this 1860 with a 90 Yammy 4 stroke. It want to pull to one side until you get it trimmed out right and if you over trim, it'll pull to the other side. I'll probably be making the upgrade to power steering sooner than later.

Everywhere else is just preference and familiarity

I like the lowrance HDS b/c Standard mapping chips are by far the best and Lowrance is the only manufacturer that uses them
This is actually no longer true as Standard now makes chips for Garmin and Raymarine as well.

ETA: It was only Lowrance when I got my GPS 2 years ago

Academy has the HDS 7 Gen 2's on sale for 699.99 and there is a $100 mail in rebate through lowrance if bought before July 10th. I just picked one up on their website. Don't bother checking the stores, no one had any in stock. Buy on site and free shipping to house.

if you get a minnkota ipilot trolling motor than humminbird is a no brainer. Otherwise go play with them at the store and figure out which interface you like the best. Then buy the biggest screened one you can afford. I really like what garmin is doing with the panoptix but I have only seen videos. Not sure how well it works in real life.

You can use the lowrance units with the I pilots now, they have an adapter cable to hook to the I pilot. Idk if it talks to them like humminbird though
