How large of a unit do you want?
What type of sonar do you want?

The 788ci HD DI unit is a good color 5-inch color display unit.  2D sonar plus the new DI sonar plus GPS capabilities really packs a lot of usable features into one package.  Do you have any questions about it?

Will it fit.  Are you asking with the lowrance or as a replacement?

What kind of boat do you have.

The 788ci HD DI is 6.9"W x 7.5"H x 4.5"D
You may have to do some measuring to make sure that it will fit.
