Sick today so I didn't read youre post correctly. The card that are part of a bundle contain all the US & Canada but without the SonarCharts. To get the SonarCharts you need to go on Navionics website, creat an account and download the region you want to fish. For a period of 1 year you can get all the new things taht are uploaded by other users, it's call Freshest Data. After a year you can renew youre update for another year for $99. The card size is 2gig and a Platinium is 16Gig

SonarCharts are on the Navionics+ and on the Platinium. I don't know much about Raymarine but on a Lowrance or a HB you need to activate a function name: FishNchip. Not all the units can run that function. See the compatibility doc. on the Raymarine website (bottom right) If youre unit can read the sonarchart you can purchase the Navionics Update and use the older card to unlock and the update will become a Nav+ then you download the region or lakes you are fishing. The Update sale for $99

They just came out

Works with a HDS Gen2 and Gen3 They do have a hydraulic and a cable steer. The cable steer run for around 1800$ (I think)

The Airmar TM-150 build for the Lowrance is the way to go accordingly to some testers. THat's the one I will get for my next Touch3

You got a a 2D and downscan transducer the 50/200 is the regular 2D transducer and habitually the 50/200 is use in deep water; deep water meaning +300ft. The 50 is a larger cone and the 200 use a narrower cone. The 455/800 is for downscan. The 800 is to be use in shallower water. Those frequencies are excellent to identified what is under the boat, it's mainly to identifie bottom and structure. You can also see the baits but the fish are going to be small dots on the screen. With the Elite you can split the screen in 3 so you can use Downscan,2D in 50 and 200kHz.

The new Elite5 CHIRP and the Elite7 Broadband are in you're price range http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Products/Fishfinder-Chartplotter/Elite-7-Broadband-en-us.aspx http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Products/Fishfinder-Chartplotter/Elite-5-CHIRP-en-us.aspx

Lowrance, Broadband sounder, solarmax screen,network capabilities

Sure! Just to get the interface between the HDS Touch worth the try

Same as the Simrad. Navico owns Simrad & Lowrance I'm using Lowrance since 1975 and never had any problem. Many mooving parts?: a pump and a box (computer) 2 wires for the power+ & - and a NMEA 2000 connection I run 2 Raymarien AP and didn't like them (not easy to set-up) and the last one couldn't be use for trolling nelow 2mph and when I call Ray they say that's the way it works.

For my part I'm going with the new hydraulic AP from Lowrance. The integration through the 2000 NMEA will make the installation easy. The other complain when we are talking about AP is the slow trolling problem; the ap workd in conjunction with the gps and the gps need some speed to work properly but with the Lowrance Point-1 (Point-1 is a electronic and also a compass antenna) that will give a better operation at slow speed.

Sonic hub and sonar hub are 2 differents things

There is 2 Kingfisher dealers in the province of Quebec and the way it goes now the US $ is almost 20% over the Can.$

The margin for the retailers is very thin on that kind of stuff, so I don't see any selling that way less then another. If so, be careful it may not going smoothly specially over the internet.

Take the time to look! and specially to the new Elite Series with CHIRP! Excellent choice for the kind of fishing we do on LO. There is also a new hydraulic auto-pilot base on the Simrad and a model for the cable steer steering system http://hdsgen3-web-1130552088.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/Lowrance_HDS3_Product_Brochure.pdf http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Products/Elite/ http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Products/Auto-Steering/

Very easy to get the compliancy paper. You send a e-mail to the trailer builder with the ser# and model and they will send you a letter by e-mail. 99% of the trailers are build in the US

If you want to get a idea on how it's going to look, click on the link and once zoom in on lake Ontario, until you reach 2Mi. click on the little blue button on the bottom left of the page: http://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en

I don't know if you're Sitex is on that list: SVS-460 4, SVS-560 5, SVS-750, SVS-760 7 but if the answer is yes, the Navionics+ is compatible and you will get SonarCharts: 1foot contour to 80ft.,and 3ft contour to 180ft if my memory is right. SonarChartsâ„¢ is an HD bathymetry map featuring extraordinary bottom contour detail, great for increasing awareness of shallow waters and for locating fishing areas at any depth level.

The Navionics+. You will get 1 year of free update + the sonarcharts. http://www.navionics.com/en/navionics-plus

In the same class of Hewscraft there is the Kingfisher (Harbercraft) and it's build in Canada in the province of British Columbia (west coast). The fact that it is a Canadian made boat and the value of the Canadian $$ vs the US $ the price could be lower then you think. http://www.kingfisherboats.com/
