Default Fish Finder

Hey guys I've been looking for a fish finder to use while ice fishing and these 2 units came up for sale locally and for roughly the same price. If you were to pick between the Vexilar FL-8 SE or a Marcum Showdown 5.6 which would you choose and why? I fish mostly for walleye and perch.https://images.platforum.cloud/uploa...42982ca425.jpghttps://images.platforum.cloud/uploa...1c35f30251.jpg

Both are great units and you can't go wrong with either choice. I have the Vexilar 8SE, and really like it.

I would go with the Vex as they are bullet proof.

Of these 2 I would go with the Vexilar.

Now if Marcum would offer the Showdown in a color screen then it would be a worthy choice.
