I like Garmin, but you can't go wrong with either one.

There is only one name to be considered!! GARMIN!!!!!!

And don't get a combo unit!! With seprate units you always have one when the other goes, If you get the combo you have nothing when it $hits the bed!

Don't let MJ scare you. Buy a Lowrance combo unit. That being said, either brand is good all depends on your finances and room on the dash. I have a Lowrance combo and like it. Billy Mac

Default Lowrance

I bought the 28C-HD unit. Very impressed with it. Has NMEA bus that let's you add options for about $60 Bucks. I have the fuel flow and fluid level for gas. Even accepts radar.

I know they are discontinued, but I had a Garmin 178C and it was great. I see them NIB on E-Bay for under $500.00 every so often...
