No you didn’t discourage at all. Would rather ask people and find out their opinions on it. I probably would have bought a 7 and thought it was good but could be better. Same thing I have with the garmin now. But that was cheap compared to the ones now. Buy once cry once kind of thing.

I’ve been looking on marketplace now for something. I guess since I never have used side imaging before I have no clue what to expect. The larger the screen makes a ton of sense of course. When I bought my garmin striker 4 I had just purchased my pedal kayak, life jacket, dry suit etc. money was pretty tight for equipment after those purchases. The striker worked for what I was using it for at the time. But I wouldn’t mind a bigger screen now.

Ok thanks for the info. I figured there’d be a drop off somewhere at some point. I troll a wide range of depths too so it would be handy either way.

Alright. Makes sense to me. Just needed to hear some reviews or someone to give me their opinion. I’ve been looking and reading so much but nothing really about the depths I’m looking at.
