I have been looking at FF for awhile and the more I look the more confused I get. Can I get some ideas from all of you.
What is peak to peak power. And what does RMS have to do with it. I have the pixel count figured out more is better.

1. Under $300.00
2. Freshwater most lakes under 150" deep.
3. Konanee, Trout, Bass

HUmming bird has some great units under the 300 daollar mark!! But if your looking for a full featured unit (gray scale, not color) look at the eagle 480DF 480 x480 resoution , amber back lit screen (not side) duel freq. 50 / 200 , 4000 watts peak power, speed and temp.... + more its one of those units that bang for the buck you cant beat..... they run 229.99

Check out the Humminbird line.....

I'd get the best you can afford. But also rember what you and I were talking about, useing a fishfinder to follow a certan depth range. Even a cheap unit will do that. The real high dollar units can pick-up the air bladder in fish, and from that you can have a better idea on the type of fish. Some have bigger air bladders that other types of fish.

Furuno makes a nice and affordable grey scale.
Furuno LS4100 Fish Finder with Transom Mount Transducer
about $200 if you shop around.

color is nice, but for the price, this is an awesome unit.

Humminbird has two units at the 279.99 mark. The 727 features dualbeam plus and 640 vertical pixels It is a B/W unit with 16 level greyscale. The other is the 343c. It has a smaller (but color) screen and 1000ft depth capability. I think either of these would fit the bill for you.

I've owned the LS4100 Furuno. Had to be close to it so see it clearly.
I now have a Lowrance color. $$$, EAsy to read but the Furuno was a better machine.
I used to have a Garmin. They do a pretty good job as well.
I've also had Apelco CRT finder..very nice but bulky.
my 2 cents.
