[#008000]Hey Jon,[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]Welcome to BFT ! Those are some great photos you posted.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]As far as the fishfinder you linked to, that would be a fine unit. The specs look good and, from personal experience with Humminbirds, I can say that they are good reliable sonars. I have several fishfinders - 2 Humminbirds, 1 Lowrance, and a Vexilar (I also used to have a Bottomline). That Humminbird has some great features and will perform very well for you. Not to mention it has the advantage of being portable so you could transfer it to another boat or use it for ice fishing as well. [/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]One thing I might suggest is that you check out the transducer that comes with the unit - Make sure though you get a transducer (even if you have to buy an additional one) that attaches directly to the transom of your boat and leave it there permanently. That is if you plan on using it primarily on your own boat. [/#008000]
