[THEFERMANATOR]

I personally have just a sounder mounted on my boat, and carry a hand held GARMIN GPSMAP 76 for my position for those 2 items. I prefer the hand-held myself for most all applications as I can take it on any of my boats(or friends boats) and have EXCELLENT repeatability in finding spots. For a good budget machine I would reccomend the FURUNO 4100 or 6100, they are black and white but excellent machines for the money. If going with a combo in a GARMIN, step up to the 540. You will thank yourself in the longrun for doing it.

Here's a reman 540S with a full 1 year warranty(same as new) for less than you were going to pay for a 440S.
