[size 2]The best freshwater sonar is Genetron. They run around $3,000. Might as well get two at that price--one for the front and one for the back of the boat!![/size]
[size 2]I normally pitch Pinpoint, and while their graphs are still some of the best available, I'm more inclined to recommend products whose companies actually SUPPORT them (it's amazing what being sold twice will do to a product).[/size]
[size 2]Right now I'd lean toward the upper end Lowrance units. The X-15MT is their big bad boy (in cheaper monochrome), and for $700, the price isn't too terrible either. Plus, you can upgrade to GPS later if you choose. That's the route I'd go if I were to replace my current graphs.[/size]
[size 2]Or you could get one of those graphs with the castable transducer!
