lowrance hds fishfinder

[finatic]

My Hummingbird 947c fishfinder recently quit working and Im looking to replace it with a lowrance hds 5, or 8. I never cared for the hummingbird but had a lowrance previously that I loved. Can anyone with this unit tell me what they think of it?

Thanks

I've got the HDs 5...no complaints. Tracks at planing/high speeds and more functions to dial in than I usually care to mess with! Easily seen in the sunlight too!

We have the HDS7 and absolutely love it! The 8 would be better with preset soft keys.
