If this is honestly how you feel, life has not been good to you my friend. There are only two reasons for you to make a comment like this.
1) You suffer from “If it’s in my boat, it’s the best thing on the market, and I must do all I can to convince myself and everybody around me that I have superior equipment” disease. This disease is actually more like a plague, and it infests local boat launches, and oddly enough, the internet.
2) You honestly believe it takes a Ph D to look at a picture of a group of sticks that converge into one large “trunk” like structure, and infer that there is a tree under water. Or look at a “U” shaped object that shows a depth change, and infer there is a ditch under water. Or have a screen point to that group of sticks and say “83 ft” and infer that the tree is 83 feet away from you.
If reason #2 holds up, well then I hate to inform you that you fell below the “bell” curve of Hummingbird’s intellectual target, and that is really unfortunate…for you.
If reason #1 holds up, stop being a poser. The truest test of the side imaging technology is all the pros SPONSORED BY LOWRANCE buying the hummingbird side imaging systems for their rigs. I was at the classic this Feb. and I lost count on the number of rigs that had Lowrance units in their dash, and Hummingbird everywhere it mattered.
