Hi guys:
I’m looking for some recommendations on a fish finder for my 16 ft Jon boat. My old one melted the connection in back. I’d like to stay around 5-6 hundred.
Thanks,
RD

mid range hummingbird with SI and DI would be my choice , with a chart plotter and lakes map card installed :highfive
Ketchn hit the nail on the head,that would be my choice.
When I wanted to pick up some equipment dedicated to my aluminum boat I picked up really fantastic deals on Ebay. Got a Helix 5 SI first generation for $50. I have it on the gunnel near the tiller. Picked up a Helix 7 DI first generation for less than $100.
Thanks guys, good info and Ladybear I was actually looking at that one this morning. Seems like really good price.

I’ll probably do a trolling motor mount. Good idea or no?

Well I tried to post a link to BP with no success. But I’ve found a Humminbird HELIX 7 CHIRP MEGA DI GPS G3N GPS Fishfinder/Chartplotter.

ArtyB, the link works. Sometimes they just show up that way.
Garmin 93sv uhd if you can wait til the bps fishing show in early March. Then if you can swing a livescope you will be ready.

I have a Garmin Chirp 94 SV clear view SI and DI like new 20- 30 hrs use- $400.00 If you want it. Looks new. Plus With Nav. card!
That 7 is a really crisp beautiful picture at that price Bass Pro has.
Check with our sponsors. Its rare when they can't beat big box store prices.
Agree wholeheartedly. I have one and it's the best bang for the buck out there right now. Also works with Livescope if you ever decide to get one. That is the same prices as last Black Friday!Quote:

Yeah. I use it with the transducer that came with it. I went this route in case I wanted to add Livescope later on. Bought 2 of them on sale about a year ago, networked them together, & have been very pleased so far.Quote:

The 4 Pre-set buttons on the front of the unit can be configured to switch or spilt screen options with one touch of that button, rather than doing it from the HOME/MENU pages.
