According to the Humminbird website, it says nothing about the ability to get readouts up to 40mph like the Lowrance DSI. My source that told me that was referring to the Lowrance Elite-5 DSI, so I'm assuming when he told me this, it was in reference to the comparative model for HB. I will know more tomorrow, he said their equipment did not allow for the unit to be under power and be utilized like a sonar like the Lowrance model because of the transducer make.

Bruce, another reason for wanting a sonar is for the readout at high speeds. If you read the Lowrance link, it says readouts up to 40 mph, and my source said it works pretty good. He actually said he hadn't used sonar in two years since he's had DSI. However, it also says on the Lowrance website for optimum imaging speed of 8 mph and under.
