    Santa brought me a Garmin Echo 550. It has a decent size color screen. The images are very clear. They are rated 4.6 stars out of 5. It is a quality product. Price anywhere from $400.00 up. I spent quite a bit of time comparing color finders. This seemed to be the best of the bunch in the price range. You can get a color finder for about $200.00 up, however screen size is small and clarity is not the best. The Echo seemed to be the low end for decent screen size and excellent clarity. Face it, a top quality fish finder demands big bucks.

    If you just want a fish finder per say they get a 500 series Humminbird. It has 640X640 display and very easy to use. Check Amazon and you may find it for around $300. Lorance/Eagle were the best going for a long time but Humminbird has now become the best for the money.

    I agree. I needed one for the front of my boat and went with the 598. $299 from Bass Pro and it has DI and a GPS. Im happy with it so far.

    I have a Lowrance X96 that I will sell for 90.00 dollars. I upgraded thanks to my wife. I only used it about 10 times. It has a 5 inch screen and 16 level grayscale. It worked well for me and the buttons and menu's are like the expensive HDS line. Good luck with whatever LCR you buy. Wes
