Power... How many watts can ya get with the $200 bucks allowance, and how easy is it to use..<br /><br />$200.. Hummmm.. Well, Furuno is probably outta the question... No, on second thought, Ya might be able to score a Furuno 4100 with a transducer for $200 or less... Pound for pound, the little 4100 has more features than all the others...<br /><br />Don't think you could go wrong with Eagle either...

Go with an Eagle 480 or Eagle 320. Both under $200. That's my opinion. I've had the 320 for about 1 year and have no complaints at all. For the money, I think they are a pretty good deal . The 320 is like $159. and the 480 is $189 I think.<br />There are plenty of good finders for under $200. Check the pixel counts. Watts is not that important for me as I only fish in 50 ft of water at the very maximum. Most finders can reach depths that most people will never see anyways.<br />I do see that you are in FL though, clear readings in 500 ft of water may be necessary for you. Not this guy.<br />D
