I have a Garmin 178C, and absalutly love it. I think it goes for around $500.00 with the internal attena. The B/W version 178 - Is alott cheaper.

I REELY like this Lowrance 337 color combo ... color's nice but not essential ... 5" dia. screen for about $650...the 337's been replaced w/the 522c for the same price... ;) ...

I just installed a Garmin 498 internal antenna and love it. It has been replaced by new models and you can get sweet deals on them. When they came out they MSRP'd for $879 or something and I got mine brand new shipped to my door for $525. Boater's World has them for $679 still too.

I got mine form an Ebay vendor, who I eventually just called on the phone and handled it direct, he was in VA.

The Lowrance 522c is nice too I looked at both and it really came down to which I could get the best bang for the buck deal.

Good luck!

Flounder,

I went the cheap route this time around. I got the Eagle Cuda 168 depth/fishfinder and picked it up at WalMart for $74.00 *It works good for the money and no compalints so far.

Then for a GPS I got the Garmin 76 pro-kit from Cabelas for $199.99 and for a small handheld it works great and it comes with all accessories needed.

so for roughly $275 plus shipping on the Garmin I got a decent set-up which didn't break the bank. When I upgrade I will have a decent backup GPS.

My buddy I fish with has the Garmin 178 Damn good at it's job. I'm looking at buying one also but can't seem to find a through hull transducer. Figure it's not a bad idea to put it in whil the floors out.
