Back in January, I went through the sales spill of different Fish Finders at BPS.
The young sales lady definitely knew her stuff . . .
But, my budget, plus it was on sale, plus my 10% military discount
steered me to the Humminbird Helix 5.
But I was in AWE of the Raymarine products. If my stars had been more
aligned, I would have gotten the Raymarine 7. ($800.00).
Also, I have never had such an upscale FF of this magnitude before, so I took
the Humminbird as my "entry level" model to learn how to even use it.
If my fishing takes me more into the salt water world, I will definitely get the Ray 7
and give the Helix-5 to my wife for her little Jon Boat..... (yea, a hand-me-down) LOL .
