This forum has always been a wealth of help and knowledge so i hope some one can help me pick a fishfinder.

 

it will be portable and used on a small 4-5 man boat and at times on a Pontoon, i have been researching the following

1. Lowrance Elite 3x Fishfinder or DSI (is getting DSI better?)
2. Lowrance Elite-4 CHIRP or Lowrance Elite-4X CHIRP Fishfinder with Down Imaging
3. 120 fishing buddy

Any advice?

 

 

Thanks,

Consider the Humminbird Helix 5 DI model also. It has dual beam traditional sonar and dual beam Down Imaging with a color display larger than the ones you listed.

MSRP $249.99

Raymarine Dragonfly 4dvs or 4pro if you want gps

 

Garmin Echomap 43dv

thanks for the tips maybe i need to up my budget but i really want to say under the 250$ after taxes and all so i guess i am looking for a $200 finder

On sale for $200 instead of $250 .
