I have never owned a fish finder. I kind of prefer not having one in some ways. But I have always thought knowing the water depth and water temp at least would be beneficial. A coworker of mine told me to make an offer on his Lowrance x-4. He doesn’t use it anymore. I haven’t found any for sale online, he mentioned he thought he paid $1000 new. It’s older and comes in a bag, it also has a transducer that suction cups to the exterior of a boat. Just seeing if anyone here has used or owns one of these, any info helps. Thanks.

That thing is not worth 1000 bucks.

Offer 50 otherwise tell him to go kick rocks

Not in a million years. That’s a 10+ year old basic chirp black and white unit that looks like it’s been sitting in the corner of a dusty garage all that time. I wouldn’t put it on the boat if you paid me to do it let alone buying it.

If you’re looking for a FF for that price range:

Super old. Maybe worth $40 max.

The current version of that finder with a color screen and modern hardware / electronics sells for $140.

Hold off...you can do much better than that unit pictured.

My first fish finder was a Bottom Line Fish-in Buddy. One piece unit, clamped on to the side of the boat. It gave me depth, water temp, and kind of marked fish. Looked like this. Sold it a few years back for $25.

Thanks folks! I’ll definitely just get something modern and relatively cheap.

I guarantee you he paid no more than $100 for it new

Yeah right now on eBay

you can get a new one for $100.00 or used for $75 or less.

Offer $25/30 or spend a few dollars more and buy new
