Canoe fishfinder

[SkunkedAgain]

Oh boy did you open a can o worms.... You do know this is the Chevy, Ford / Dodge deal right? Probably a little more info from you may help, like do you ice fish? If so I would assume you will want to take the finder with you on the ice... Also a canoe isn't the easiest to permanently mount transducers, and they are also prone to possible tip overs... These may change your answers... I have a hand full of different finders now days from Eagle, to Humminbird, Lowrance, Sonarphone by Vexilar and the new one a Marcum... Knowing what you will be using it for, I might recommend one that you won't expect... I'd go with the Sonarphone (assuming you have a smart phone or tablet with wifi capability)... They are around a $100 and they do a pretty good job as a fishfinder. The step up has mapping capability (uses Navionics and lets you create your own maps) which adds the GPS that is very nice to have as well.. (Around $160 I think) This gives you a good start into finders, it's very mobile, can be used on ice... Not as accurate as the Marcum, but a good over all use for any type fishing condition... Would be my first entry level finder knowing what I know now... Only thing you will need extra battery life for your phone, especially in the winter... I just plug in a 10,000 mili-amp-hour battery pack and it works great... If you want to know the best finder I'd go with the Marcum LX-7, but can't do everything with that one, but what it does, it does very well... Good luck... J
