    New. Garmin 93.

    Used. Any HB from old 800, 900 series or Helix gen 2 or 3 with mega side imagine.

    Bigger screen is always better with trying to decide if those or fish or rocks on the bottom.

    I would go with the 93SV so that you will not have to buy another unit if you decide to go with Livescope later on. it's a very good unit.

    Get the biggest screen you can afford and fit comfortably in your kayak. Side scan comes to life on bigger screens and is worth every penny, even if you have to save a bit longer. I'm a HB guy so can't offer any info on the unit you're looking at. I can get great detail at less than 1 mph so slow does work.

    As for transducer mounting, check out these guys for lots of options.

    I have one of their magnetic mounts for my rowboat and it's the cat's meow, in my opinion.
    Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.

    The one advantage of Humminbird over both Lowrance and Garmin is there is no black box needed if you go to FF, and it uses less juice to operate, which in a Kayak is a big deal.

    The Garmin 93SV is hard to beat at $649, for what you get. And it's Livescope ready.
