I would appreciate some advice on the best fish finders based on knowledge and experience. Can anyone help me?

I am not familiar with that specific model but I have two older HDS series Lowrance units that have been bulletproof! I use two side by side in my boat. One is used strictly for sonar the other is used in the chart / GPS mode utilizing a Navionics chip which is great! I actually use one of them during the winter months for ice fishing. I have it mounted in my ATV. It’s been through hell and back and still works flawlessly!
For fishing, at least on Winni I see most people using Lowrance products. That does not mean anything bad about other brands. Back in the day, I know a couple of well known guides on the lake were affiliated with Lowrance and I think that is why they are so popular on Winni.
