northstar over the raymarine hands down, it is so easy to use my 5yr old can run it in his sleep. raymarine is also in severe financial trouble so watch out they might be gone before you know it!!

Humminbird 917c for me...........works great with nav
E-bay $830 1yr warranty.

Thanks guys. I'm still looking but I'm eying the new Humminbirds because they come with side scan capability...a nice feature for the shallow areas in Lily Bay.
