eagle fish easy 320c, it is the most affordable color depthfinder on the planet

senko77 named a good one! I'm just not ready for switch over to color yet. I have an Eagle Fishmark 480 on the front of my boat. IMO, its one of the best gray scale units out there and only $200.

lowrance x125 $299

          and

lowrance x135 $399

Im about to buy both of them for my new bass boat.

From what I have read on other message boards and around the net the 320 and 480 are the best bang for your buck out there.  I am looking out for a good deal on one.

I have a Fishmark 320 and, based on my pathetic experience, it seems to be a really good value.  If you have $200-300 to spend the 480 should be even better.

Lowrance X-125. Best graph I have ever used for uner $300.00.

thanks for all the help everyone.
