First post here, but thanks so much to everyone from Chapter #41. Great banquet tonight and as Rob's wife said "just a nice bunch of folks". I've learned so much from everyone.

Anyway, after the Muskie Show and talking with others, I know I need to get a new GPS/Fish Finder and don't have the $2500 as some suggested budgeted for this right now (around $700 is my budget) but I've settled on a Humminbird 788ci that seems to come with ContourXD maps (not as good but like Navionics).

Does anyone have experience with this particular fish finder? My boat is only 14' so being compact (yet readable) is important.

I just want something to help stay on the contours more accurately.

All thoughts are appreciated.
