Which sonar would you buy to $400? I have a GPS, so I don't need the combo unit unless the deal is to good to pass up.

Thanks.

Without knowing what you are looking for, besides cost, Cabelas has/had the Lowrance 136 & 125 units on sale for around 400.  You might check them out.  I have the X-136DF for a my  main sonar and wouldn't trade it for anything, except Hummingbird's newest addition, but who can afford 1800.00 for a unit?

Thanks Bass_juncky. I'm interested in a color unit and have been considering the Eagle® FishMark 500c Series, Humminbird Fishfinder 585c Sonar, Lowrance X67c Color Fishfinder, Eagle FishEasy® 320c Sonar, Humminbird FishFinder 141c, Garmin® Color Fishfinder 400c, and Humminbird 747c Sonar.

I am also concerned with the screen resolution. Each of these units has a resolution of 320V x 240H. I do like the bigger screens, but am looking for the most "fishable" unit and then the "best bang for my buck."

Personally, I'd go for a 480X480 pixel unit.  Right now I am saving my pennies for one myself.

The Humminbird units will typically offer the most resolution and sonor power for the money.  I would look at the Humminbird 343c which has dual beam transducer and higher sonar power than the 141c for only about $50 more, still under $300.  The 383c is the same as the 343c execpt it add gps to it for $399.  The 747 does offer a larger display and higher power but the same resolution as the smaller units.  The one advantage of the Humminbird 700 series units is the available add ons.  You can add gps, weather sense, wireless sonar, etc at a later time if you wanted to.

I am getting the lms 520 lowrance @ 449.00 without gps, 480x480 pixs and 2400 watt. That is a great price for that unit.

For that price, what do you think of the Humminbird 777c2 Color Sonar on sale at $424.99 - $524.98? Cabela's ad states "highest resolution displays with 640 vertical pixels. Pro-grade performance with a sleek new design and Tilt & Swivel Quick-Release Mounting System or optional in-dash mounting. Ultra high-definition, 5", I checked with Cabela's and the resolution is 640 x 480. "Boasts 4,000-watt peak-to-peak power with 1500-ft. depth capability. Detailed 2-1/2" target separation and temperature come standard in all 700 series units. DualBeam PLUS sonar, or Quadrabeam for clarity. GPS trackplotting capable with optional GPS receiver (sold separately). Speed sensor included." Plus FREE WeatherSense from Humminbird.

The Humminbird 640X480 resolution screens are really nice, I love my 787c2 which is the same as the 777c2 expect the 787 has the gps in the box.
