Where's the fish?

Maybe this is the right thread for my question. I'm looking at upgrading the fish finder on my boat (18' Sea Ray open bow), so it's not a typical bass boat but works great for family activities and does okay for fishing. I went and looked at some last night, and am currently thinking about either a Lowrance or a Garmin. I'm willing to spend up to $1,500 if needed, but obviously, would prefer to spend less if I can get a good quality product at that price point. Any recommendations?
Also, I'll be mostly fishing Lake Mead, Lake Mojave, and the Colorado River.

Not on mobile, so no pics. But I posted my favorite plastic in the other thread. Bass Pro 'Stik-O' Worm in Watermelon Magic. It's literally been a cheat code for me catching bass. Last big one was around 10lbs. Unfortunately urban development has cleared the woods and destroyed that lake.
I just recently went with the Garmin UHD 93SV. So far I'm happy with them. Went from Lowrance to these. Better price point and does what I need them too.
Entered a tournament series with my dad at our local lake this year. Small series, only 4 tourneys & about 15ish boats. Finished 4th the first week and middle of the pack last Saturday. Beat the banks with spinner baits and a 4” fluke trailer. White/chart spinner baits with a big Colorado and little willow leaf blades. Caught lots of fish but only 2 keepers. Next tourney will be middle of June so probably switch to soft plastics. Texas rigged zoom brush hogs in black w/ blue flake and wacky rigged senkos in green pumpkin. Maybe some jigs around heavy cover but our lake doesn’t have a ton of heavy cover. Mostly rip rap points off the main channel and some sunken brush piles by that point.

We are in a small boat/kayak series. Eight tournaments all together across Eastern Nebraska small NRD flood control lakes.
Where you at?
Sold BOTH for years.....buy the Garmin (& save money) and you will be happy and well taken care of.

Cranks are where it's at. Get a good fiberglass pole. You cover more ground also.

Any particular model you recommend? The 93SV looks like it's going for $1,100, with the mapping including, and there's a $200 rebate right now.

Yo. That's a catch. Great color.
Weightless/Weighted Texas Rig. Depends on the depth of the lake if I'll use a weight or not.

I love to kayak and fish several tournaments in TN. Here’s a pic of the biggest smallmouth I’ve ever caught and it was in a tournament.
Belief is at an all time low with this one. Girls don't fish.....
