Lost my sylvan with custum benches and front platform (never found them) in a tornado last year. Going to look at and hopefully purchase a '95 Stratos 284 fs tomorrow. It comes with a smaller older hummingbird finder, unsure of the model. I never used one on my old boat and have no idea how they work. Been seeing a lot of recommendations for the Helix 7. Would it be beneficial for me to buy one when I'm a complete beginner in using them, or learn on the older hummingbird.
I'm saving $1500 on this boat compared to the one I was originally going to buy, would be using the savings to buy it so the extra $600 isn't a big deal. Just curious on how easily I'd handle the Helix 7 with 0 experience.
