Too many fishfinders so little time

[DavidD]

Okay I'll be buying a pontoon here shortly.I opened the bass pro catalog and started going thru the pages looking at the fish finders and noticed theres alot of them!Anyone have any reccomendations for a good unit for 300.00 or less?

You might enjoy the Eagle 250 S/Map. It is a combo SONAR/GPS with built in maps. The GPS is WAAS enabled and it has an internal antenna. The display is very easy to read in even extremely bright sunlight. The screen can be run GPS only, SONAR only or split. All for less than $200! It is a great little unit.

Humminbird is my choice and their customer service is 2nd to no one and they are user friendly also

hey george do you know anything about the 727 good or bad

I also have the 480. Gives good detail and is easy to learn to use. Good unit for the money.

Painter I too am interested in the Humminbird 727 and I started THIS thread awhile back on the unit. Seems like a good deal for the money.

I found them at the extremely reputable online store newegg.com for a lot cheaper. The only problem is catching them in stock there.

I have the Humminbird 535 and the Humminbird Matrix 17 on my boat. For about $300.00 the Matrix 17 gives you GPS. These units work great and the real time sonar is spot on.
