depthfinders

I got a great deal on a discontinued Garmin color combo unit this year. Never had color before, will never be without from now on. Also don't like combos, but have a 16' boat, so figured save room.
Does't work that way.
With a 5" screen, you can't really run a split screen. Next year will get another color combo unit and run plotter on one and depthfinder on the other and have backup.
After using Furuno, Sitex, Hummingbird, and Garmin on my boat and on friends' boats, Garmin is the easiest to use by far. Talked to a friend about the Garmin radar and he says the radar is also easier to use than his old Furuno.
It's always fun getting to buy new stuff for your boat.
