I do not however the Hook is the entry level unit and the HDS is the high end.
On my 14 footer I have a portable fishfinder that is a Humminbird Helix 5. The tranducer is on a suction cup mount and it has its own small battery in the case. It works pretty slick for me and is completely removable at the end of the day. I also have an ice fishing transducer for it so I can use it in the winter. I like the setup and it works well for me. The whole setup could be had for less than $500.
On my pontoon I have a 9" Garmin that was bought on sale at Bass Pro for about $600.
If I was in the market right now I would be looking hard at that HDS unit I sent you. It's a great sale on a high end unit.
Bottom line is these things go on sale especially when it is last years model. Bass Pro will have a spring "fishing classic" sale in March as someone mentioned and there should be a couple of units that are on sale. That's when you will get a good deal!
