GoodnightMoon..... Well I love to fish and have owned several fishfinders... I have a tough time with ANY of them... the cheapies are worthless,so I decided to get a GOOD mid range unit... The Furuno sounds interesting,but I am REALLY afraid it may be a bit complex... I think the "user friendly" Garmin MAY be the best choice.... space is at a premium on my 17 1/2 ft AquasportCC... trying them is not an option... I live 5 hrs west of the Island in the Finger Lakes.... not much here in the way of marine electronics. ...I'll have to buy it off the 'net...I'll post when I get it and install it... bob
