Fishfinder
I am looking for an inexpensive fishfinder for my brother in law for christmas. I would like to spend less than $150. He actually has 2 boats, and I wonder if the suction cup transducers are any good. Any advice on a good unit for $150 or less and whether suction cup mount transducers are any good would be appreciated.

You could buy him one unit and buy and additional transducer and mount for his other boat.

Take a look at the matrix series by Humminbird. Their Matrix 12 is about $150. I had an older Matrix and it seemed to work pretty well. Just a thought but, for a buck fifty you probably won't get a color one unless you go used. As far as the suction cup mounts go, I would just get another transducer to mount in the other boat. None of the FF are going to come with a suction cup mount so you will have to buy it seperately and they are the same price as a fixed mount one.

A friend gave me a Humminbird Piranha Max 215. I think he spent about $100. Stay away from those suction cups, they SUCK! Always pulling loose.
