Re: what are you running for electronics?
Yes, it's worked out well for me. I like the Garmin units because of the features at a decent price. *These 160 and 240 Blue models are being phased out though and being replaced with the newer 250 and 250C (color). They have a higher screen pixel resolution. If you shop around the 160's and 240's can still be had at a real decent price.
I have a transom mounted Arimar P66. If you're opposed to drilling and mounting a transducer to the transom, these units also work well epoxied to the inside bilge of your hull and read right through the glass with little degradation.
There are lots of good units on the market. The only ones I can say from experience (past, maybe better now.??????) that I never had good luck with are the Humminbirds.
Next time around, I'd probably pry the extra cash out of my wallet for the Furuno FCV600L Color LCD. ;)
