I recently upgraded my eagle 300 to a Humminbird 385, was worth every penny! Has much more definition and is pretty user friendly. I went with the drill a hole in the bottom of the yak transducer. I havn't sunk at sea yet!

Hey Rob, I have what would be considered a mid-range unit, the Lowrance X96. It definitely has better resolution and a larger screen but it won't show marks that your cuda 300 can't find. My opinion is to either stick with what you have or go big = HDS 5 or similar.
