Hobie now has an adapter to use the total scan transducer, But that sucker is huge and I don't want to be dragging my kayak over anything that will damage it. Besides even the down scanning chirp I only find useful is shallow water (under 75 feet) or in fresh water and I don't fish lakes that often. Most of the time I'm fishing around LJ in waters from 75 to 600 feet. Using the 5 TI and now my 7 TI with the 83-200/455-800 down scan transducer I find the best detail using an overlay or just the 83 or 200hz settings. The best thing is the large screen and the touch screen controls. The upgraded mapping is just crazy if you use the 3d setting and drag the screen to display the bottom almost on it's side. Get the TI model.
