I just got a humminbird 385ci. Was $362 on Amazon out the door. The screen is smaller than the lowrance HDS-5. The specs are close as well. The lowrance HDS-5 looks like a more loaded FF. Just was not in my $$$ range. I'm happy with the HB so far. I mounted the transducer off the back of my x-factor and ran it last Sunday. Was great to see the bait balls blasting by..... I did take the transducer off this morning and am getting ready to mount it on the inside of the hull. I will at least know what the difference is before and after. I also have a inside wet mount I'm making if I don't like the hull mount.
