Hey Guys.
Well another birthday has come and gone, and I recieved money from the family to get myself a fishfinder for my boat.
I have been looing at several brands over the last week or so but I am not sure of the reliability or quality of them. I have been looking at Garmin,Hummingbird and Eagle.
So I would like to ask those of you that have fishfinders wich one you have and what you like or dislike about it.
I will be useing it in rivers and lakes mainly and I am not looking for a portable as I have a Fishingbuddy for the pontoon boat.
Thanks

I have a Garmin 80 that I bought about 1 1/2 years ago. It works great.

I would suggest the Garmin 240. I had one on my boat and it worked flawlessly. You need to find the right spot on your boat to mount the transducer and you will get readings at plane. Let me know if you need a hand mounting it. Better to do it right the first time, than to have to many holes in the transom......
