Budget? Top of the list would probably be an hds 3 touch 7". Bottom I'd say 7" hook

Snatch up that gen 2

From Tony. Gen 3 and Gen 2 flat out have the most power. But you also need bigger battery to feed the power . I have a helix 5 on my other ride . It's good for what we do . 200 ft

If I had not just dropped several grand fixing my truck, I'd be jumping on Tony's HDS Touch for my Solo skiff. You say you don't want side scan, but the touch has the firmware for it built-in if you decide you want it in the future, just swap out the transducer. The HDS I have isn't a touch, so I have to install the big hub box to do the processing...

If you want new get the Lorance 7TI with the down scan transducer. It's $100 less then the Total scan transducer model. If that is too high for your budget than get Hook 5 or 7 (no down scanning or total scan available. Or as mentioned get The unit Fullback (Tony) is selling HDS 7" Gen2 touch screen, I believe he's asking $400.
