I need advice. I don't have a depth finder at all. Should I buy a $70 finder now and wait till spring before I can afford a DI unit or should I just hold off and then buy a DI unit in the fall? Thinking I could always use the cheap one on back of boat later.
If you can afford a cheap unit now and use it later go for it. Then buy better unit when you can afford it. Do what you can afford to do. If you don't have one and haven't had one the cheap unit will get you started learning how to use one. Also let you know what to look for in a unit in the future.
I still own (and use) my 1st depth finder...an old cheap Eagle Magna on the back of my boat ...
It does fine for depth...
(I have my expensive electronics on the front where I spend 99% of my fishing day...)
