Need to find out best option for up grade of electronics, I have 05 depth finder,and 05 fish finder. both units are Lowrance. I would like a radar, and a fish-depth finder. 2 units for recreational fishing of lake michigan. I run a 22 foot center console. I don't want to go to far over board, but I need to rely on my equipment.

Are you looking for a large, multi-display unit? How big do you want it to be? How much do you want to spend? If you figure these things out it will give you a head start. Also, I don't know if you like your Lowrance products or not, but I have heard some horror stories about their customer service. I have Garmin and have been very happy. I also know that Raymarine and Furuno make good products. Here's a link for a good deal on a Raymarine unit w/ and 8.4" display.

Here's another site that usually has pretty good deals:

If you keep an eye on them sometimes you can find a good deal on items that are discontinued. Especially if companies are coming out with new models. Also, you might want to think about a thru-hull transducer. They seem to pick up more detail when you are on plane. Good luck, just say somethin if you need any more help.

Welcome to the site Carl!

I picked up a discontinued unit 2 years ago, at just over half price. :thumb:

Hey Nick sorry soo vage, I looked a Bass Pro and picked out the middle in screen size. I currently have the smallest screen and I hate it. The units are cut in to the fiberglass, not a big deal and the radar would serve as back if visiblity turns. Also I,m needing accurate mph for trolling. Hope this helps

I am assuming you were looking at the Lowrance LCX-38C in Bass Pro. That is an 8.4" screen. That would be an adequate size for a multi-display. Mike (GLF) has an LCX-111 (I believe) that was the predecessor for the LCX-113 shown on the same page. This is a 10.4" screen that is very nice. I have 2 seperate units. They are both 5" screens. I would not go smaller than that. They are easily viewable from quite a distance. Now you just have to figure out a budget and I am sure that people would have some suggestions. The websites that I linked also sell radar. You just have to make sure the display you bought is capable of displaying a radar image.
