the same price.

Answer:
If you compare the two the Humminbird Smartcast would be a better buy.
- 75 foot operating range compared to 35 foot cable
- allows use of 2 remote sonar sensors
- auto shut off on remote sonar sensor
- 100 foot depth capability
- 90 degree sonar beam compared to 45 degree (need to purchase side scan adapter)
- uses a 2450 cr battery (watch battery)- may come with 1 installed and 1 extra battery
- although the Hawkeye can shoot thru ice if you do any icefishing.
