Can someone recommend a good entry level fish finder?

My best advice is to skip the entry level fish finder altogether and buy the very best unit you can possibly afford. I would consider one of the Hummingbird side image downscan units. Either in the 800 or 900 series.

If you don't buy what you really want to begin with you will just be setting yourself up to replace it later. They bring less that $0.50 on the dollar if you try to sell an entry level unit used, so why but two-three before you get what you want.

If price is a consideration and you just want a fish finder, check this board for a used one or search Ebay. You could probably pick up an inexpensive entry level unit on Ebay for under $50.00 to tide you over till you can buy what you want. The other plus side is you have purchased it at the used depreciated price and may recover much of your cost when you sell it used.

Might ask Peter what he wants for his?

Here are a couple on ebay now. I searched hummingbird fish used and did a search of title and descriptions. Sorted highest price first, then scrolled over pages untill I reached a price range of $50.00 or so.

Both of these say they have all parts including the transducer and mounting brackets.
