cheapest Lorance that has side scan and FMT compatible?

[Tim T.]

I am almost done with my boat rebuild and need to pick a good GPS/sonar unit. I could use some help on making a choice. I fish Crystal River in Fl. so FMT is a must have. thanks in advance Tim

First question…what is FMT?

A Google search turned up…Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Don’t want to go cheap with side scan. Screen size, detection algorithms and transducer quality all play a role in performance. .

Florida Marine Tracks. It's the most accurate in the state

 

[Tim T.]

Lorance and Simrad are the only ones that are FMT compatible

 

[Tim T.]

The cheaper Hooks won't are not compatible

I was just wondering if any of you have any info on it. Thanks in advance. Tim
