It was very easy to fit, screen size isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I do have to slow down to read the chart but so far I'm happy with it.

I didn't take the extra depth in to consideration when I measured up and changed from 7 to 8.

Took it back but couldn't...

I paid £449 for structure scan from our local dealer, they matched the price Marinescene were quoting.

HDS 10 looks fantastic but I've just got enough room on the console for the 8.

I know, really tempted to just order the side scan now. Then I can get on with fitting it all at the same time.

Not very good at being patient.. will definitely have to wait for radar though.

Thanks for the reply.

The structure scan looks really interesting, I think its around £500 extra.

I'm not sure what the Garmin sounder images look like?

Also if adding radar at a later date...

Garmin or Lowrance

Hello, I'm looking at Garmin 750s or Lowrance HDS7.

Does anyone have an opinion on either to help me make a decision on which one to purchase?

Pros and cons of each?

Thank you in advance.
