Fishfinder with DI... Useful?

Also, do some research and watch videos and testing for the unit you're thinking about getting. If you have any questions call lowrance and/or hummingbird directly. Their tech guys know their stuff. I almost made the mistake of getting the 83/200 ducer for my unit . Wasn't too sure if that was the right one. Called lowrance, they recommend the 50/200/455/800 for my unit and application.

Why not the 83/200?

Hey guys, thanks for your input. Good info.

Fishingfiend, I have been watching Doug Vahrenberg's videos on youtube
Very educational and convinced me to go with a Humminbird unit.

Good to know about the depth penetration with the different transducers
Kayak wise, most of my angling will be inshore.

Going with this unit: (597 ci HD DI) http://store.humminbird.com/products...9220796a9b96d4

83/200 is for shallower depths . And more geared for freshwater. I asked the same question to lowrance and told them where and what I was fishing. They answered question faster than I could ask it.
