what is the best fishfinder/plotter?

[kayakfisher]

Looking for a fish finder/plotter. Not for my kayak, but for a 17 foot power boat. Thank you.

The best one is the one you can't afford

[GregAndrew]

And comes with a $3000 transducer that will sink your kayak

[tacmik]

How much can you afford to spend. That is the best fishfinder.

Kayakfisher looking for FF on powerboat.

All kidding aside

Whatever your budget is I would add at least 20%-30% to it, this will cover extended warranty plans and additional accessories that you may need.

What is your budget?

This. Now that I have a FF I'm realizing I still need a bunch of other stuff to get this thing going.

Why not use the same one you have on your kayak, assuming it is decent. Having those waypoints on the same unit and only having one system to learn to interpret would have its advantages

That's what I do, All you need is a another transducer, GPS puck (if your GPS receiver is not built in to the FF) and power cable.

West Marine has a sale today on Lowrance Elite 4 HDI for $199.00. It's a small unit and I use it on my kayak, but it has built in GPS and seems to work. Can't beat the price. But the sale ends today.
