I am looking to buy a new sonar/gps i have always owned old stuff for the most part but its time for me to upgrade and get something a little better. The most i am looking to spend is $800 i would like to keep it under that but thats the most i really wanna spend. Like i said i am kind of new to the newer sonar/gps units so if i can get any suggestions from you guys of what you use and recommend it would be great. I have been looking at some of the garmins and those seem to be nice but than again they all do lol thats why i am looking for suggestions.I am open to any brands and suggestions i am going to go to cabelas tomorrow and look at different options. I fish a lot for perch and other panfish in the spring and then a lot of bass fishing and some walleyes if that helps any.

The first one is a refurbished unit by Lowrance.
I bought a refurbished HDS-8 2nd Gen and love it.

When i click on the links they do not work. I was looking at cabelas today and i am leaning towards the lowrance hook 9 seems like the best one for the amount i wanna spend. I am still going to do some more research but as of now thats the one that has caught my interest the most.
