Thread: What depth finder for 700 bucks??

I'll look into that one. I don't know a whole lot about depth finders but I would like the options that you mentioned. I would think DI and SI areva must?? Can I get that for 700 bucks?

You fishing style and how much of the "underwater world" you need to see will determine which of the sonar technologies (2d/DI/SI) will benefit your fishing time...

2d will show a "cartoon like" image of structure under the boat ...
DI will show a "picture like" image of structure under the boat ...and out to the sides a few feet...
SI will show a "picture like" image of structure under the boat, out to the sides 100+ feet, AND which side of the boat...

Pricing goes up with each added technology...
Pricing goes up with added "bells and whistles"...
Pricing goes up with unit expand-ability ...
Pricing goes up with screen size...

Decide which sonar technology(s) will most benefit your fishing style ... Then buy a unit with those sonar technologies...along with the biggest screen you can afford ...

I doubt if you would get both DI and SI on the same unit for $700, unless you get one of the Humminbirds. When you buy one of their SI units, you also get a "sort of" DI
