Hey garbageman,
Don't do it ! I mean the wireless kind. I have one. It works in conjunction with my Humminbird Matrix 37 - it's a wireless remote castable model called the Smartcast. It has some functionality, but, it is very limited.
If the wireless variety were your only fish finder, you would be dissapointed at what it does not provide. As an accessory to the Matrix, it has some cool things about it and can be used for several different applications, but as a stand alone unit - it would be, as you alluded to - a novelty - not the serious fishing device that you might want. Besides, a nice fish finder does not weigh that much nor is it that difficult to set up on your tube.
I would suggest, that you go ahead and get a more functional one with the capabilities that you would be able to use as you probably intend to use one.
