Are you fishing from a kayak? I did a lot of research on the HDS-5 and the Elite-5. The Elite-5 has a smaller transducer than the HDS-5 and has almost all the same features as the HDS-5 for a lot less money. Lowrance Rep said the 50/200 is for deeper water and the 83/200 is for shallower water. Hope this helps.
