Never used a Vexilar or Marcum. But after a lot (I mean a lot!) of asking questions, internet research, reading, etc. I ended up buying the Hummingbird Ice-55.
Exceptionally happy with it. Has a larger dial than the other two brands and also has a digital depth read out in the center....making telling the depth way easier than just the lines on the screen.
Well worth every dime.
Fished in extreme temps with it....has not frozen. And is very quiet.
After a long day of fishing......the battery was charged back to full after about 20 min.
Can't say anything about the others, but the Hummingbird Ice 55 met and triple over-shot my expectations.
So easy to use and figure out that I never even read the instructions and if anyone needed a video.......you should just stay home.
Have never owned a flasher unit before and didnt know much about them....but was rockin and rollin like a pro first time out. Very easy to understand and use.
