Welcome from Middle Tennessee. Things kind of depend on your wallet. Some of our site sponsors give the best deals I've heard of and have the smarts to put together a package to do the job right. I will say that if you plan on trolling much a power drive trolling motor works very well for me. The Minn Kota Terrova with I-Pilot is about as good as it gets. The Humminbird units are good but the Lowrance also has a strong following. Have fun learning it all and rigging your ride. There's lots from here.
