I am very satisfied with this unit. Has more than enough for my 20'CC. The price point is right and I would not be adding radar, unless I went up in size to 23-27' and added a T-top.
I have operated a number of boats with many different GPS/FF units, but here is my disclaimer; I have never used Hummingbird. I have had Garmin, then Raymarine that I hated, and went back to Garmin. I was out the door for $752 and installed the unit easily on my own. Is the extra 3k worth it to be able to have a trolling motor keep me on station? Not to me. On a bigger boat, sure. For now, I will put the 3k into a new 84 gallon fuel tank replacement...
Don't get me wrong. The toys would be nice. But I don't think they are going to put that many more fish on the deck... This unit is more than I need. We all started out fishing by the seat of our pants with no electronics after all.....
