I am looking to buy a new unit for my 8' Pelican soon.  I want to try to keep it around $200.  Can anyone recommend anything to me?  I came across this one at Basspro.

Any info or reports on this particular unit will be much appreciated!

That's a good GPS/Sonar unit for the price.  Your biggest decision is whether you get a sonar only, or a GPS/Sonar combo.  You just mentioned a depthfinder.  If it's just a sonar unit you want, you can get a larger screen unit for less money, see link below

Thanks for the info guys.  I don't know much about the GPS deal.  Does that mean I can mark a location where I caught fish or found a hump so it would be easy to return to that exact spot?  If thats the case, then that is what I want.  But the very most important thing is a unit that is accurate and shows me a good picture of the bottom.  99% of my fishing is flippin shallow timber, but some days they just don't bite there.  It would be nice if I could go deeper and fish a hump or ledge or something.  Not to mention that I just need to learn to use electronics and fish structue better.    I am not actually looking to buy anything until x-mas time when I get my profit sharing check from work, won't have the funds before then.

Thanks again

Yes, just hit the WPT button twice and the location is saved on the unit. You will have the option to name it if you like. When you want to return you have the option to punch in the coordinates and it will give you a trail back to the site.

Ok thats what I want.  Thanks for the info.
