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.

OK, looks like I can get either a Garmin 150 fishfinder or a Humminbird Piranhamax 215 (both new) for $85 including shipping. That's right about what I would like to spend for my brother in law. Any thoughts on which unit would be better. Both come with transom mount transducer.

In general the garmin FF stuff is not the best until you get yourself a black box sounder. So without digging into the details yet I would go with the humminbird. They have a good rep as far was FF's go.

I've only been out with the Piranha Max once. I think I'll be mounting the transducer in the bilge because it likes to kick water on to the side of my engine. It holds the bottom well up till about 4400 rpm when it goes intermitant. The menus are super easy to use and program, and it's only got three buttons.
