On the top of my Christmas list is a new fishfinder.
I have heard good stuff about the Lowrance 330.
If anyone has experience with the new color units, please advise.
Merry Christmas! musky39

I picked up a LMS330C this past spring and love it. I use it one my boat, in my truck, and now as a flasher for ice fishing.

My only complaint is that when you split the sreen, the sides get little small.

I see that Lowrance has dropped the 330 and replaced it with the 332. I'm not sure of all the differences, but I do know that the 332 has a slightly larger screen.

Check out the new Lowrance LCX-126c-HD. It is the "replacement" for the LCX-119c. A friend uses his LCX-119c in his van when he drives. The LCX-116c-HD has the same 7" screen, GPS, & the HD includes the Fishing Hotspot maps already installed. The dealer expects delivery in late January-February, which probably means by April.

Merry Christmas & Happy Musky!

Color is a huge benefit, you wil see things you never saw before, bottom composition will be much easier to determine and you will be able to do it at a glance.

Get the biggest screen you wallet will allow, the increased detail is worth it for sure.

I have a Lowrance Color sonar on the bow, wish I would have thrown the extra bucks for one on the dash. I love the color units, and I second the larger screen. Great for night fishing...
