fishfinder/gps - The Hull Truth

Hi,Whats a good fishfinder and gps for my 19 foot Wellcraft c/c? I would like something very simple because I fish inshore and the deepest water is 90 feet tops.I have a Furno 6000 on the boat now but the screen is always hard to see because it gets dampness inside the screen.Thanks,Davey

are you looking for a combined unit? I am looking for a FF, and after some research, I have decided to hold off on a new GPS for a year or so. I Like my choices in FF, and am looking for feedback (watch my post i guess).

As far as GPS, I loved the Garmin 76 for handheld, and don't know what i would do for a console model. Lots of great choices out there.

good luck
Chris

Davey - what's your budget? And also do have space for
two units or limited to one?

Starters are about 400 for a combo unit Eagle, and
I see that Lowrance now has a color FF for under $400.

Also to consider is to see better mapping than the
built-in basemap you can expect to pay at least another
hundred.

Hey Dave,
www.gpsnow.com has the most reasonable prices. I bought a Garmin Map 76S for $316 incl. shipping.
