Lowrance or Eagle?

[Jim & Lil]

Hi There,

Buying a new 2004, 17 foot Lund 'fisherman' boat next year and I am in
the market for a new fish finder...have been doing some research and have
found two fish finders that both meet my needs. All my fishing will be on
in-land waters with no depth exceeding 600 feet... a shallow water alarm is
a must...I am primarily a walleye fisherman (do the odd tournament) and I
also deep troll for Lake trout (downriggers etc..)..
I looked at most prominent makes, Humminbird, Eagle, Garmin, Lowrance

I came up with the Lowrance X87 and the Eagle Fishmark 320... can
anyone comment on either one of these units?

Thanks in advance .....Jim

Both Very good units and both made by Lowrance I have the Egale and the
Shallow alarm is great fish rivers and manmade lakes good luck

Hi there;
I have a Lowrance Map160 but thinking of moving up to the x-15 unit.I know
it's a bit more money but you can't beat the Quality. Also I hear no mention
of an GPS unit from you. I would not enter any type of water with out my
GPS. It safed me a couple of times out on Lake Ontario coming home in fogy
conditions.
Good fishing
