Sold / Closed Crestliner Aluminum Boat 18' 7"

If you buy the hook2, I recommend the C-map Insight Pro over the Navionics + card. My old HDS 8 has the Insight maps installed by the factory (not on an SD card) and the bottom contours are more accurate for Lake Ontario than my Navionics + card. The sidescan is worth the extra $100 in my opinion. If you can afford the 9" screen, it makes a big difference.

I will also add that DI can usually help you identify a school of bait or perch verses some suspended weeds or debris. That same image on 2D sonar just looks like a blob of "something". As already noted, DI & SI work best with bigger screens.

I have a Humminbird 1198c with SI & DI and a Lowrance HDS 8 with just 2D sonar. Both units have GPS. I use both units on my boat, side by side. The Humminbird is easier to use than the Lowrance, in regards to adjusting the settings. I prefer the menu on the Humminbird as well. It's easier to navigate through all the options and features than the Lowrance. I like to use SI to see structure when I'm fishing/trolling along a wall or drop-off. But SI works best on a bigger screen. My 1198 has a 10" non-wide screen, which I prefer over a wide screen display. Both units have excellent 2D sonar. Sometimes one unit will mark fish when the other unit doesn't, or they will mark the fish a little different, and sometimes they will mark things the same. It's hard to describe, and it's not a bad thing at all because it gives me two different perspectives to look at. It's not one unit showing "better" info than the other, it just shows the difference between the units and the transducers. I like having both units side by side, but if I could only run one unit it would be the Humminbird. Why? It's more user friendly, it's easier to navigate through the menu items, and it's easier to adjust the settings than on the Lowrance. You will spend less time learning how to get the most out of a Humminbird than you will out of the Lowrance. Also, the Humminbird Lakemaster map card is unbeatable in my opinion. There are lots of good fish finder/chart plotters out there. Good luck with your search!

Wanted 16ft Boat Trailer

It's time to replace my 1974 Sears boat trailer. Looking for a working boat trailer to transport my 1974 16ft semi-V boat. The boat only weighs 225 pounds empty and has no floor in it. It's basically a row boat with a motor on it. My current trailer needs new spindles, or a new axle. But my trailer is narrow by today's standards and all I can find is a 48" wide trailer axle (where the springs mount to the axle). My axle measures just 40.5" between the leaf springs. I don't think there is enough metal on the axle to weld a new spindle to it. A new axle would stick out about 4" past the fenders. The bottom of my boat is flat from the transom forward, about 10ft toward the bow. My spindles are worn out and they keep blowing out the rear seals.

I've never met Hank in person, but he still went out of his way to help me with some boat repairs. He is a real class act and very professional. Thanks again Hank! The boat is working as perfect as can be.

Wellesley Island NY area- Rudest boaters in the USA
Todd in NY replied to BP Swing's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I avoid that river like the plague. I've lived here for over 20 years and I've never had the desire to launch my boat there. -

It works in my Humminbird 1198c SI unit. I took a screen shot of I-Bay this morning. I just finished working on my 4 wheeler and just saw your post for Oswego. I can take a pic of Oswego if you'd like, just for comparison sake. But another LOU member made me a good offer by PM, and I'm getting ready to PM him back.

For Trade Navionics+ Map Card For Lakemaster NE Card
Todd in NY replied to Todd in NY's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
Thanks. My laptop has an SD card slot that I used for the updates, by inserting the card directly into the laptop. It might just be my HDS 8 unit's lack of features, but I never noticed anything useful after the updates. I got the card to show me bottom contours, hazards, and navigational aids. It showed all that stuff just fine, and it seemed like none of that information changed after the updates. I think the newer Lowrance units can squeeze more information from this card than my old HDS. -
