Best depth/fish finders

[Cat Thief]

Thanks for all your responses. He would use it 15-20 times per year, mostly over crappie beds and catfishing. I don't know that he needs one of the high end models, but seeing it easily is important as well as ease of use and learning it. We are close to a bass pro but not cabelas, others mentioned purchasing online and that's fine too, but when it's mentioned repairs and assistance might be important, is the savings enough that it outweighs the ease of help?

Any unit you buy  will only get 30 days with the store ... after that you have to deal with the manufacture until their warranty expires... Then you are on your own...

Graphs are the most important piece of equipment on your boat. If he likes to crappie fish down imaging/side imaging is a big plus.  I won't fish brushpile a unless I see the fish.
