[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 414002, member: 13975"] Glad you checked back in. I am in the beginning stages of rigging my new 1648 Alumacraft and am in a similar spot as you. As of now, I plan on getting a Helix 5 DI/SI GPS and mounting it on the back instead of swapping it from back to front. For the front, I really like some of the basic Lowrance DI models they have that run about $150. They don't have GPS but if I can find the spots with the Helix, then hopefully I can use the cheaper front unit's down imaging to stay on them. It may be sacrilege to run two different brands on the same boat but I don't care :D . I guess the cheaper Humminbirds are also an option but they don't appear to have as good of displays at first glance. I am interested in your research on moving the Helix to different locations as well though. I have another boat which I would like to share the Helix between. [/QUOTE]
