Bent Rod do you think the new Elite 7 would show the bridge like your finder? I have been looking at them on you tube and they look pretty good or a lot better than what we are running now. Thanks

I have a friend that just got one - he's not installed it on the boat yet though. Remember, the Elite7 is downscan only - not sidescan.

Just my personal opinion that I wouldn't buy anything new nowadays that doesn't have sidescan or at least have the capability to add it. The downscan is useful in certain instances, but the sidescan is useful all the time for what we do at SML. I don't like the HDS broadband sonar so I wouldn't be happy with the Elite 7 at all.

I took these guys advise and its hard to beat the side scan versus anything else.
