locodave Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi Guys, I have a fairly new boat, has only 50hrs on it but no sounder. I'm new to boating so I purchased this to get me around and get familiar with launching/retrieving getting stuck etc I'm after a sounder and since I won't keep this boat for too long before i upgrade, im just wondering what is a good sounder for under $400? I've looked at the garmin, but the display is a bit disappointing! All i need is one that has water temp, speed, and dual beam would be good. Any suggestions?

jewgaffer Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi locodave, you'll find that the Hummingbird, from the company that sells the Matrix range in big numbers all over the world, performs head and shoulders above the others in the $400 price range.. I did a lot of checking on sounders for a friend of mine and found they are the same sounder that's used by guides in inland America.. Make a few enquiries about Hummingbird yourself,..Huey stocks them, ask him his opinion on them... Cheers jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
