Money to spend?

I'm looking to drop about $900 on my boat this winter. I just cannot decide what to buy... I do not need any new rods. I have a tracker PT175, 47lb trolling motor and a lowrance HDS5. I mainly fish for bass and split time between rivers and lakes. I'm looking for suggestions on what to add. Should I get a higher LB trolling motor or add a lowrance unit to the front of the boat? Any other suggestions would be great.

    I'd look for a deal on a bigger HDS unit for the bow. That way you know what's going on at the front of the boat, not 18' behind you. Ethernet cable between the 2 units for waypoint sharing and you're good to go. I picked up a 7 for $600 a couple years ago and just got a 10 for $1200. With the new Touches coming out, lots of guys are dumping their Gen 1's and even the newer Gen 2's for about half price.
