HELP! Lowrance's Mark 4 Base Model Owners** - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi all, I was wondering if you guys have any personal experience using the Lowrance Mark 4 Base Model.

I'm looking to replace my Hummingbird Pmax 160 that has recently stopped working (won't turn on). I couldn't find too many reviews on this Fish Finder and was hoping any of you guys could help shed some light on your personal experience with this model.

LOWRANCE
Mark-4 Fishfinder/Chartplotter with Nautic Insight Cartography and 83/200 Transducer

West Maarine has this model on sale for 50$ and considering that my old FF doesnt have GPS, I'd be upgrading in a sense. The price has me nervous but i cant afford getting a FF over 100$ right now or in the future.

*Note* This isn't the Mark-4 HDI model (I found more reviews on that model).

Thanks in advance, I look forward to your suggestions.

I'm not sure, but this could be the black and white model that took the place of the old Eagle Cuda 350 (Lowrance bought out Eagle)? I have the Cuda 350 and it worked great. The Mark 4 may not have all of the bells and whistles though. But depending on what you're using it for, it should be fine for the bays.

older unit, step up from the Cuda 350 or the 250 was the base model? as it changed from monochromatic to a full black to white.........better definition........steal for $50
