I've had a couple friends have the Bottomline finders completely crap out on them after very little use. They warned me against them. Not sure if it's the new ones or not. On the other hand, I've heard nothing but good reviews on the Humminbird Matrix series from the guys dragging them through the salt on yaks. Fishfinders get no harder abuse than on the yaks in the salt, so it tells a lot. I need a quality new finder for my yak for the salt. I'm hesitant though because I had such poor performance from my old Humminbird. I heard Garmin has dicontinued the old 240 Blue line and they are available at closeout prices. They are great units, but the resolution could be better. Just my dos centavos.
