I just picked up an Echomap UHD 73sv for $500. The UHD2 has the same resolution and still only comes with the gt54. Did not see a great advantage on the UDH2 to spend the extra $450. I understand that you are referencing the 93sv where it is worth the extra money.
500 for the 73sv is a good deal. It's unfortunate that the 7inch screens don't come with better resolution. Maybe in the future we'll have full HD 7" screens.
The 10 inch screens like the 106sv ultra is more than twice as heavy, I weighed the 106sv with the bracket and it's close to 7lbs so if you have to lug it around that's going to make a difference.
The first thing you get is a lastic transducer mount so it can break off and end up in your prop in less than a year, which is when they want you to pay another 200 dollars for subscription fees, want to hit the lake instead of salt for the weekend, that's another 200 a year on top of your 900 dollar purchase of the tiniest screen that borderline useless more than a few inches away from your face. If you want to use your tablet, instead of coughing up 1500 for a bigger screen, too bad... active captain is terrible, you will need to buy a whole other Garin device just to have a useful second screen. Everything about this thing is crap. Military or Public service? Enjoy no discount at all... Garmin hates you, everyone else and America. I regret this purchase and will be returning it.
Great content! What about the Ultra 1st gen 10 inch versus the UHD2 9 inch? My main concern is the older processor in the Ultra.
What mounts for the units do you use? I was thinking about getting the bail mount from Garmin but wasn't sure.

Man Garmin should make you a field ambassador ( highly payed reviewer) we always get the scoop from Flopping Crappie 👍
I am part of the brand ambassador program.
