I have been beating my brain to death trying to decide which chart plotter and sounder to buy. I believe I am going to get the Garmin 182C chart plotter or the new one coming out next month; 172C, it is $300 cheaper, but a little smaller screen.

For a sonar unit I am looking at the Lowrance 105C. I have had nothing but Lowrance sonars and have been extremely happy with them.

I tell you, there is so much out there and so many different opinions about them I end up suffering from sensory overload. But, I know both Garmin and Lowrance are quality products.
