element hv 9 or echomap 95svuhd?

 I have just bought my first boat and am looking at getting a new sounder for it.

I have a 5.2 fibreglass cuddy cab with a lowrance elite5x that came with it.

Most of my fishing will be inshore or river intially but hoping to go further out on good days.

I am currently looking at re-doing the wiring as the gang switch has missing terminals and half don't work( i am assuming this is due to it previously having a duel battery set up of which the second battery is missing, along with the earth cable).

I have spent alot of time looking at different sounders and trying to work out which would best suit what I want but need some advice on which of these 2 would be better in the long run.

Cheers for reading

 Well i have decided to  buy the 9 hv.

Pick it up tomorrow and hope to install it over the weekend.

If weather isn't to shocking might even get the boat in the water on my days off next week. 

Will keep this updated.

 Hey mate, I'm tossing up between the same 2 sounders at the moment, also looking at the lowrance elite fs9, any updates on the raymarine unit?
