I have a Lowrance 68C combo unit. It was $400.00 everywhere (BPS, West and BW), I use it on my small boat. The GPS has the entire US on it. I've used it at the Outer Banks, South River area of the bay, Ocean City and Coastal Va waters. I am totally pleased with it. Was jigging out at TP one day and the DF was picking up the lure bouncing bottom. No I wouldn't put it up against the more expensive units but for the money it does what I want it do. Very simple to install. Mount the transducer and connect the + and - and plug it in. In addition it is an ok read in direct sunlight. I use a Garmin on my bigger boat, DF and GPS, not a combo. They were alot more money but I prefer the Lowrance. I've had the unit for three years now.
