Fishfinder

[Michael82929]

Buddy bought a new boat and thought I would get him a gift for the boat, so I plan on putting in a fishfinder for his boat since the one he has is an older model

Would like some feedback from some boaters.

Looking to get a new unit
Color Screen
Looking to get a unit / transducer where when I am moving at a higher rate of speed, I am still marking bottom / potential marks of fish.

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Budget will be your determining factor.

What sized boat?
Is it a center console? without much space?
Does it have a t-top? and is that where he mounts his electronics?

[Michael82929]

ok...

22 ft Aquasport Center Console

Budget - within reason

600 - 700/would be ideal

looking to do a transom mount on the transducer

Thinking of a garmin.. buddy wants to get a hummingbird with the side imaging

Trying to weed thru it all and make a sound decision

I just installed a Furuno w/ thru hull ducer.... couldent be happier.

Thru hull is the move. Transom sucks. Yes, some guys have it dialed in and can readt at 30mph. I couldn't after trying many times, so I installed the thru hull and can read bottom and fish at 35mph+
