Re: Gps Chartplotter Fish Finder
If I were buying a new one it would be a Garmin.... They make a lot of units in your price range, are the most easy and intuative to use,are loaded with lots of cool functions and they have great customer support.

Re: Gps Chartplotter Fish Finder
Which ever unit you buy, get the BIGGEST screen you can afford.
It def makes navigation ALOT easier. I have been happy with My lowrance units ,as they are very user friendly. Cabelas bargain cave has some great deals on units all the time from many manufactures. And you can bargain down the price even more just by asking

Re: Gps Chartplotter Fish Finder
Love the Garmin stuff.
As Hammer stated, get the biggest screen that you can afford. Check out the link below but be careful. They are not the cheapest on everything but when I was shopping around a few years ago they we the cheapest for my plotter. Good luck http://www.thegpsstore.com/

Re: Gps Chartplotter Fish Finder
Get the biggest screen you can is good advice and don't waist time with a transom mount transducer.
Spend the little extra $$ and effort on a thru hull. You will be MUCH happier. Huge difference when I wnet to thru hull vs my old transom mount.
