I also go once a year to the gulf with the boat, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Same here guys ... Thanks for the info ... I am tossing up color verses Black and white and is it worth the $200 difference ... I had a Color Raytheon CRT unit on my guide boat ... It was nice ... But I am looking at a B&W 581 I HD DI Sonar/GPS for $300 and the Nav Hot Maps Prem for $150 ... Total $450..

Now the color Version (Spec's are close) of this is the 597 ci HD for $500 (Through HBird) plus the Nav Hot Maps Prem $150 .... Total $650 ... What are your thoughts and has anyone owned a 581 ... Thanks for any input ... <'TK><
