Location: Minneapolis | 1. I have a Lowrance 322 GPS/Sonar. I think it's been replaced by the 522. The detail is great, but a larger screen would be nice. But if you went this route, the upgrade cost would be a lot lower (under $1000). I know you don't want to mess with different chips, but I think you would be much happier if you did. The Hot Maps Lake of the Woods + 2K chip gives you all the big MN lakes from Mille Lacs north (many with 1' contours, including Vermilion, Mille Lacs, Leech), plus LOTW, Eagle, Lac Seul, Rainy and others in Canada. That's a great chip, but it does nothing for WI, IN.
2. I bought my rig used for $7600. It already had two sonars and a trolling motor, but they were not what I liked. I thought I got such a good deal on the boat, I didn't think twice about upgrading sonar and trolling motor. I think I spent $1600 on electronics. I'm glad I did.
