    Take it from me, get a lowrance 520c, by far for the money is the best you can get and you can find them for a decent price that wont break the bank!!! I read a report that puts the 520 in the upper class for the money

    Agreed, LOVE mine (and IIRC Dave Stewart also runs one himself which IMO speaks volumes)

    Which ever brand you choose, IMO lowrance is a product I would stand behind.

    Re: looking for a depth finder?

    If you already have one that works I would save up. They are plummeting in price and humming bird has prefected the programming. They bought the rights from NASA and everyone is trying to copy it. The patent runs out this year and prices will really drop. Side by side imaging is the deal. I am going with out this year in hopes they are under 500 by xmas
