Message: <blockquote data-quote="zoops" data-source="post: 299878" data-attributes="member: 790">Your description is a little too vague to give great advice - some things that would be helpful to consider:-Where (and how) do you fish mostly?-Budget-Are you more comfortable with Lowrance/HB/Garmin?-they're all pretty similar in capability-Do you want just 1 graph or are you considering linking 2+ together (or wanting to link it to your trolling motor)?If you fish lakes that are mapped, I would prioritize the ability to have a good map chip.  Side imaging would be #2.  I wouldn't recommend a unit that has DI but no SI although some may disagree with that, again depends on how you fish.Helix 7 is around $800: <a href="https://www.scheels.com/p/humminbird-helix-7-mega-si-g3n/08232405340.html" target="_blank">https://www.scheels.com/p/humminbird-helix-7-mega-si-g3n/08232405340.html</a>Helix 9 is around $1500: <a href="https://www.scheels.com/p/humminbird-helix-9-megasi%2B-g3n/08232405293.html" target="_blank">https://www.scheels.com/p/humminbird-helix-9-megasi+-g3n/08232405293.html</a>Decent deal on a H10 (2000 new):  <a href="https://www.bismanonline.com/bismarck_nd/humminbird_helix_10_gn3_mega_side_meda_di_chirp" target="_blank">https://www.bismanonline.com/bismarck_nd/humminbird_helix_10_gn3_mega_side_meda_di_chirp</a>H12 is around $2500:  <a href="https://www.scheels.com/p/humminbird-helix-12-megasi%2B-g3n/08232405299.html#q=helix&lang=en_US&start=10" target="_blank">https://www.scheels.com/p/humminbird-helix-12-megasi+-g3n/08232405299.html#q=helix&lang=en_US&start=10</a>Tons of good info out there on youtube, etc.  Tom Boley as was mentioned and Doug Vahrenburg have a lot of good HB videos.  That's where I've spent most of my time, sorry don't have much info on other brands.  Study up on whatever you buy and it will be good to you.</blockquote>
