Like the Furuno also

I have the Raytheon L750 which is a monochrome machine with about 500 watts, 50/200 dual freq 'ducer. It has been a good machine for the money, I bought it new on ebay for $375.00. It was a left over from the previous model year.

But, when I can put together the cash, I will go with the Furuno 582. Some of my commercial buddies have the Simrad bottom machines which they seems to like real well. They say they are superior machines for bottom fishing, cod and such, but the Furuno machines they like better for tuna and midwater stuff.

I think the 582 is about $1,200 now which is reasonable.

The model below the 582, I think it's the 600, is about $695 and I have heard that is also and excellent machine.
