I know you said vex or hummingbird but dont overlook Marcum. All of the high end units are amazing. if you compare the 35, the fl8, and the lx1 I think you would probably prefer the lx1. I have the marcum now, had a fl8 in the past and my brother currently has a fl8. All of them will show you fish and change the way you ice fish. IMO the marcum has the best target separation which can be vital with bottom hugging fish (maybe because of higher output power???) The battery will last longer on a vex than on a Marcum though... both will last a full day on the ice though. If you know people that have them I would say try each out, even if it is off the dock into open water just so you can see the difference. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Just enough time to get the pep sticks and jerky made then hit the hard deck! Its coming quick!
