What y'all use? I'm in the market for one while I wait on getting this boat fixed. Garmin, lowrance, or humminbird? I know I want side imaging at least. Why do y'all use the unit you got over other brands/models

Bird 898 and a 597si. I'm Goin to Lowrance when I can afford it. Best thing is go somewhere that has both so you can check them out.

I don't know about the touch. I look at them like a phone or I pad. If you have either one out in direct sunlight to long the touch screen won't work. I'm afraid it will be the same on the depth finders.

Birds! Only way to go.
What I don't like about touchscreen is all the fingerprints. It's hard enough to keep mine clean now. I don't want to have to wipe them all the time. I'm running a 900 and 1100 series in my boat. I don't see how it could get much better.
