[quote streamfisherman]Hey Bigcat What options does the lowrance have that are better? Is it a quality issue?[/quote]
Its been a few years now since I have really shopped sonars. So I can't talk about the fine details of each any more. But I have friends with the 565 and they love them. They have performed flawlessly on the ice and in the boat over several years. I ended up buying a Garmin color sonar a couple years ago and paid double what my buddies did with their 565's. And theirs will do everything that mine can just not in color. I would say to set your price point and get the best one you can afford to buy. They make fishing even more fun..... especially ice fishing!
But for the cost you would be very happy with the 565.
