I'm in a bit of a time crunch here as the deposit on a new boat is in and they want to start outfitting options.
My quote has Lowrance Elite 7 Ti being installed for $1399.00 but I keep reading people recommending at least a 9" screen for best readability.
The problem is that to go up to the Lowrance 9" screen is $4199.00 installed, which is too big a jump in price for me. Can someone help me in a hurry with a quick recommendation? The marine dealer said if I can find another option, Garman or whatever, before they get to installing nav systems... they'll just charge me for the install.
I understand some people just use laptops with USB GPS antennas too... thoughts?
