I want to up grade to a Lowrance HDS 8, I want to get side scaning with it.
I fish 40 to 1500 ft. offshore. Does anyone know which unit I'd be best fitted for? I think the 50/200 is better than the 83/200 transducer for my app.. I have my own mapping cards already, so don't need that built in. I want internal ant.. I want Sonar/GPS which I think all these units have.
There's many different models and funtions, I'm confused. I went to West Marine and that person didn't know anymore than me.
Last unit I bought was 2500ft. but without the special transducer ($600.00)
I read 600ft at best. I want to buy the right one with the right stuff once.
Can anyone help????

Are you referring to the LSS-1 Lowrance Structure Scan?
