I opted for the Humminbird 525 FishFinder/Depth Finder with temp gauge.
Installation was easy, templates provided were great. Turned it on and everything is excellent and operates at speeds up to 20 knots or better. Of course I have to slow down and turn around to get to the fish.

Are you looking for just a depth finder or a combo? If you're looking for the combo then definately go for the garmin series with the depth finder and GPS, these you can add the blue chip and it's unbeatable.

I have Garmin onbaord my vessel, best money I ever spent!

Garmin/ $800.00 to $1300.00 + Bluechip/ $150.00 = Priceless!

I found a Raytheon L750 on eBay and bought it new in the box for $350. It's turned out to be a good machine, dual freq, temp graphing, etc. Maybe have a look at what's available on eBay?

Garmin 188C it does the job. Nothing really fancy on the FF. It just works.
The GPS is awesome.
