check out Lowrance. They have pretty good units at a good price. I own a few and haven't had any problems.

I like to order products from tacklewarehouse.com , they have rebate forms that you can download and mail in... hope this helps!

I had a similar PiranhaMax and it seemed to work well. Cabelas has it new for $60. A couple years ago I bought the portable kit for it and gave it to my dad. Works great for that purpose. I bought the next size up (560 or something like that) for about $150 and I do like the bigger screen and dual cone transducer better but if price is important then that PiranhaMax should be fine although for some reason it gets lousy reviews on Cabelas.

I installed a Garmin 150 Echo in my 1984 Sea Ray cuddy. I've been happy with it during the one and a half seasons I've used it.
