Garmin for me. I have a Echo 300C. It ain't big, and it ain't brandy spanking new, but it works well and that's the main thing. I also use a Lowrance 86M ... more as a backup for my Raymarine chartplotter/radar/gps than as a fishfinder, but it also works well and I see no reason to stop using it. So I keep one at the stern and one at the helm. Since I use downriggers I like the fact that I can see the cannonball on the screen at the same time I see the fish. I know exactly at what depth my lure is at and can adjust accordingly... Handy

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
