[QUOTE="russ010, post: 294936, member: 677"] You don't even want to know... I have a Lowrance HDS 8 and HDS 5 on the boat - along with Structure Scan which is an additional model you have to have for imaging (unlike Humminbird) I bout smaller units, and when they messed up - I upgraded a lot cheaper than you can buy for retail. I started with the HDS 5x which I still have and bought when HDS first came out for around $400. Then I bought an additional HDS 7 from a business going under for around $600. It went out, and I was able to upgrade to the HDS 8 for $200. The HDS now costs around $1800 for just the unit, then tack on an additional $500 for imaging. Needless to say - it ain't cheap! But I saved up all of the winnings I made from fishing tournaments, along with some other funds that come in monthly from military pay (I'm in the Air Guard, so all of that check rougly $400 for a weekend) goes into what I call my "fishing fund". I don't buy all at one time if I can help it, and I scour the web for deals and usually end up calling places and negotiate prices. Amazing what just a little phone call can get you compared to the price you see on their website. [/QUOTE]
