fish finder help
Message:
to all the people on here that have experience with fish finders, i was wondering if something like the Humminbird PiranhaMax 175 Sonar for a 100 bucks or the PiranhaMax 153 Sonar for $80 would suit my needs as a good, inexpensive all around fish finder for my small 10 ft aluminum jon boat? thanks in advance

I have the Piranamax 170 on my Kayak. It shows the bottom Finds structure, dept and water temp.even has a fish alarm on it and shows if the fish is small med or large. it dosen't have GPS. or track routes you cant mark spots or download maps. I chose the 170 over the 150 because of the dual been vs. the single beam. I searched Google and read lots and lots of reviews before Imade my purches. Will it suits your needs realy depends on what your needs are. -Duncan

GPS is useful if you plan to troll, because it lets you know your speed. Other than that, you probably wouldn't need it, since you probably wouldn't travel too far or too fast in a 10 foot jon boat. I used the chart plotter on my finder for the first time today, because I was traveling at 30+ miles per hour on an unfamiliar stretch of the Connecticut River. It's really nice knowing where to look for the channel markers when they're more than 1/2 mile ahead of you.
