| Looking at a couple of boats with some Furuno electronics. I am not familiar with these particular models or even the Furuno brand. Can anyone offer some comments or personal experience with the following: Furuno NavNet GPS GP-320B Plotter w/ Radar Furuno 8" NavNet Plotter/Radar Furuno GP 1850 Plotter/Fish finder Any help is appreciated.

The Furuno GP 1850 Plotter/Fish finder is not a unit that I like. It has a bunch of menu's that you have to jump thru.

| If you use your bottom machine a lot - I would reccomend Furuno's 585 dedicated fathometer - digital processing - and get the best transducer you can (AIRMAR - model & power depends on your boat & fishing ) I have a 585 with a B164 ducer and love it - marks bottom and fish out to 900 ft - and holds the bottom at 25 knots out to 600 ft on at 25 ft center console IMHO Furuno bottom machines as good or better than the rest - Furuno makes great radars also. However, I think Garim charter plotters are more intuitive/user friendly.

| Ok let's rehash this age old subject. Looking for comparisons between the Raymarine A70 combo vs Lowrance HDS-7 combo. Small boat but would like to mark spots at 25 to 30. With these two units would the airmar transducer be worth the extra investment?
