    Default I broke my depth finder transducer. . .

    Can you guys recommend a depth finder?

    Due to hungry kids, I'll need to stay in the $200 range.

    Thanks for your help.

    I have a hummingbird matrix 17 on the front and it fits the bill nicely, best of all it is gps capable so you can add it later when the kids are full. I think it has been replaced with the 535 but still under 200 and the gps is a $100 option

    For the money, you can't beat an Eagle 320. You can get them for in the 150 range. I wouldn't pay the extra 50 for the 480. Just my 2 cents
    To heck with work, lets go fishing.

    if you wanna make the wife go silent for a couple months after a period of screaming and hollering, so you can finally have some peace and quiet, id reccomend the lowrance lcx, for about $1100 bucks. be prepared for a period of rough weather, followed by several months of really nice time alone followed by some great make up time. remember its much easier to get forgiveness than to get permission.....

    have-a-crappie-day, I've broke a transducer before to and most can be replaced for between 50 and 80 bucks. (disregard this post if you are using that as an excuse to the wife to get a new fishfinder)

    I have the Eagle Cuda 250 which has built in GPS which I love. I paid $250 for it at Academy.
