    Default fish finder help


    I have a small jon boat I use to fish watersheds and small lakes. I'm looking for a depthfinder/fish finder for it. What is the best available for around $100. I'm looking for something that I can have confidence in, when it shows fish that there are fish there. If it could show the stucture (ie, stumps, rocks, brushpiles) that would be great too. I don't know much about todays electronics and get lost when reserching myself.

    for that price take a look at an Eagle 'cuda. It's pretty good for the money.

    Eagle fishmark 480. Good units for 200 bucks. I got an old Eagle ultra classic. 13 yr old and still finding. No upgrades required.

    I have a friend who has a eagle fishmark 320 never been opened & even has a brand new puck style transducer thats is brand new never touched the water all for $150
    both transducers (the factory & the puck style) has water temp built in them.

    I run the same setup on my jon boat....but not a electronic person & dont know all to know about this unit.

    I found the Fishmark 480 on the net for @ $150 (couple years ago) and my son just bought a Fishmark 320 at Academy Sports for $135. Both units you can rely on and they show fish, bait, and structure. PLUS, since theyre made by Lowrance they both come with a year's warranty. You cannot go wrong with either for the money.

    Add another $80 and i'll sell you 2 fishfinders. I have a fishmark 480 and an Eagle 320C that i'm selling. Would like to sell as a pair to keep the cost down. I have the electronics case from cabelas to go with them. I'll even throw in an older model Magellan handheld GPS in the deal but only if the units are sold as a pair. PM me if interested.
    Here's the 320C and the Magellan


    Dont have a picture of the 480.
