In two days my 2013 Sea Hunt 25 Gamefish arrives. Twin Yamaha 150's.

I have a 2012 Sea hunt Ultra 234 that I keep in the Keys. On that boat, I have a Garmin 5208 (which I love), with a GSD22 Sounder. The dealer never spec'd the transducer other than to say it is 600w. After looking through the Garmin site, I can't find a 600w ducer that sends temp, speed and depth, so I have no idea what's in the Ultra (the paperwork is at the other house).

It also has a GMR 18HD radar dome and a basic Garmin 100 VHF.

Here's the question:

Since I plan on fishing the 25 Gamefish off of Ponce Inlet, what should I be looking for as far as the sounder and transducer? I plan on doing a 5212, and probably also the GMR 18HD radar.

Any opinions are welcome. I'm no genius when it comes to boat electronics, but I'm making an effort to do this right.

Thanks for any feedback.

gsd 24 with a 1kw ducer or get the gsd26 if you want to spend some money.
