PM Ree'sguide on Ms board he has a unit posted over there that might be close to your budget.
Brian has the HB 581 I HD combo for under 300.00
I believe he was wanting a color GPS otherwise that one would have worked fine. There are several options if you can live with a 3.5" screen. IE: Elite 4 Base combo Humminbird 386ci combo.Quote:

I know it is over your desired $ 350.00 price... but Bass Pro will have the Lowrance Elite 5-DSI combo on sale this Wednesday before "Black Friday" for $399.99. First come, first served and supplies are limited... but it has a color 5" screen with DSI and GPS. Looks like a good deal to me!

Sounds like you gonna have to find a used one.
How about if I went down to a 3.5in min screen size.
386ci
There is no such thing as a fish finder.

The 300 I bought due to budget constraints, but if I had it to do over I would never go less than a 5" screen. If you only have a 3.5" screen and split the image between GPS and FF, it is so small you have trouble identifying what you are looking at. I would rather have the larger screen than the color, but the best option is the color in at least a 5 inch screen. I am saving for a SI unit now, gonna be a while. :twocents
should also consider how far away from the DF/FF you will be, the further the distance, such as in the bow mounted to the floor, you will need or want a larger screen, if at the console, then a slightly smaller screen may work for you. You may be able to use the 2x function available on some/most/all models (not sure if all have the 2x which makes the screen info twice as big) so something else to throw into the mixer and turn on hi for ya.
