I am looking for a budget fish finder (around $300 or under.) I have been looking at "budget" fish finders online. I have looked at the deeper fish finder and it seems like a good deal but I was wondering if there were any fish finders I could mount to the boat that would be a better deal. I believe the deeper retails for $229. The advantage of the deeper fish finder for me is that I also bank fish and it might come in handy for bank fishing. I own a 14 foot jon boat so I don't really want or need a flashy $4000 fish finder, All I really need the fish finder to do is show me a map, depth, the structure, water temp, where the bait balls are, and where the fish are.

When you find one at any price that will fill your last requirement, no matter the price, let me know, I want one.n.

As for the rest, you are probably limited to one of the 4-5 inch models with gps/chart capability. For those it's whether you prefer chocolate or vanilla ice cream.

I would spend an extra $50 and get the Hummingbird Helix 5 DI GPS.
