Fish Finder Recommendations?
I've got an Eagle Mark 480 on my bow, and a Lowrance X47TX at the helm. Both seem to work well, especially the EM 480, but I've been itching to get something with GPS. (Translation = my fishing spot finding ability is so lame, I want to hold on to the spots I DO find )
Anyone got any recommendations on a unit under $400 I could replace the X47TX with? I'm in Southern Indiana, and I'll probably spend 99.9% of my time in water less than 30 ft deep. Black and white LCD is fine, but I'd like to be able to use the chips with the maps on them (Navionics?) if possible. |

Under 400 is tall order.

Under 400 for a GOOD unit is very doable. The Lowrance M67C is the recommend I make. I bought this one at a good price and have never looked back. Being that I use Lowrance exclusively and dont have the room for a big screen it is great. The unit hs good color,plenty of power, and all the GPS options that I need. Built in antennae. Only thing you cant do is to load extra mapping capabilities into it.

That FishElite 480 looks like exactly what I want. Plus, it is very close to my bow fish finder. I would bet most of the controls/ options are exactly the same. Well under $400 too. Thanks, Mike.
