gps/fish finder

[Old Salt]

Hello guys/gals I need your advice again, I'm looking to buy a new gps/fish finder combo. I fish for stripers, also fish over wrecks off N.J. coast. I'm looking to pay about $700. Thanks in advance for your time.

Raymarine dragonfly. Great fish finder has downvision. The navigation map isn't as good as my garmin. But as far as combo great unit.

Raymarine dragonfly.

Well let me say 1st say....I hate Raymarine. Minimal buttons means it is menu based. If it has a menu base then your jumping thru menus to find anything.

I just installed a Raymarine Dragonfly. Cheap connector as per Raymarine's usual ways. It has no NEMA capability to it. So your not going to send position to your GPS and get the full effect of that.

Not with MY money.
