New fish finder in mind

[zachtheman]

Looking to get a new fish finder. New to using them, just use the in dash Lawrence x 28 for depth that came with the boat. Anyone have any ideas on a user friendly fish finder $200-$550 range. I want something easy to use but don't want to sacrifice quality. Thanks for the help.

man i seen a new in the box lowrance 5x go for $370.00 on ebay this morning,,you will get a lot of opinions on here between lowrance and humming bird,i have had both brands and they both have performed flawless,the new hds units are the way to go,down or side imaging can be a plus exsp. on the bigger units,but i have heard mixed feelings how they work,, varies with the type of structure and the avaible cover that is on it will depend what type of image you get,,big $$$

to protect yourself just make sure its paypal,and if its new and get a receipt for warr.,lowrance will honor the receipt if it is from a store on ebay,,,

I just bought a Lowrance HDS 5 on ebay for about $400... So worth the money! The gps and color chart is amazing..
