John,
Like Scotch said I am running the Garmin 160-Blue FF, and it works well. I will occasionally loose bottom contact in turbelant water, such as hard running tides in the breachways, or being close behind another boat's wake. Also occassionally at wide open throttle I will loose bottom contact momentarily.

For the price I think it's the best out there. I am sure some of the more expensive units $400+ are probably a bit better, but also are nearly double the price. I bought mine with the speed / temp transducer for about $225.00.
