Whats the best Fish Finder for a YAK?

[Docrunner]

yeah, it looks pretty sweet! but I'm debating getting this Elite5 just because it's cheaper.

http://www.amazon.com/Lowrance-000-1...ite+5+lowrance

$386 NEW, plus $10 shipping and plus tax.

I'm hoping to figure out a way to easily mount it to BOTH a Hobie Oasis, and a solo kayak, like the Mini-X or Hobie Outback, so I can switch it back and forth easily. I was thinking the RAM mount and some kind of transducer arm. (maybe I'll ask Andy @ OEX). There seem to be a lot of the Elite 5 FFs out there, so they must be decent? Is the HDS5 Gen2 really that much better? Thanks..

That was me - give me a PM when you get the new ride and we'll hit tidelands again. I've tied some new rattle flies that should hammer the spotties good...
