I am leaning toward the DSI model.I know that an HDS 5 is way better but these seem like a good bang for the buck.I used to have a X67C but it got stolen(may you never catch anything but sculpin that land in your crotch!)These are about 3 times the output power of that original unit that would not read bottom going over parts of the canyon.

Anyone have a DSI type FF?

unfortunately, it is only a mount, so the xducer will stick way out the bottom.

It would stick out of my scupper much less than that hobie,I have a BG with the Transducer spot on the scupper.The DSI transducer looked very flat.

So does anyone have any experience with DSI type sonar units?

I have had the Lowrance Scupper trans mounts in stock for a few weeks.

how much are they Andy,and what are your thoughts about them?

Have you investigated these new Units.LOTS more power and features and they go from $169 to $349.I am thinking about getting the DSI model.
