Depth Finder Opinions?

[beermunk]

New boat doesn't come with a depth sounder or a fish finder. My Whaler has two and they're staying on it (she's my fishing boat for two). Because this boat is a cruiser I'd really just like the built in depth sounder that gives just the depth in foot and looks stock but because that's not available I'll have to get a big ugly fish finder.

So what do you guys have mounted on your 'toons that you like? My main concern is just a big read out for depth, a nice audible low depth warning and something that doesn't draw an azz load of power.

Thanks in advance! (btw I did a search on this and came up with nothing)

I have a humminbird HDR 610, it is just depth(0-800') has shallow depth worning and at under 4"s it looks like it grue there with the rest of the gauges. it was under a 100 bucks

I kept an eye on craigslist and found a guy selling one for cheap, looks and works like new (cant remember the brand at the moment)... All I use it for is depth so I didnt care much about the fish finding capability!

My 2007 version of your toon came with a depth/temp guage mounted in the dash...
Its this one: http://www.lowrance.com/en/Products/Mar ... /LST-3800/

Worked great so far...
Only thing is, my toon has factory underskinning, and the cable was thread through there before underskinning.... Prob would be a major pain in da ass for me to change transducers now....

The factor installed Lowrance on my Party Cruiser is like Walt's, but with no temp sensor.

I have a $67.00 Eagle that showes depth and surface temp. It has a decent fish ID and grey line
