Fish Finder and Trolling Motor Question

[albinotrout]

I used a fishing buddy II for years and then finally upgraded to a humminbird 565. My son now uses the old fishing buddy. My wife uses a newer FB 110. Now some don't like the old FB made by bottom line but one day I tested mine out next to the 565. it picked up the same fish that the 565 did. The 561 is a decent unit as well. For a motor try the minn kota 34 over the 30. The 34 has a 36" shaft compared to the 30" of the 30. They usually run about $110 depending upon the week and sale. Rod holders I found that by making my own I got what I was looking for. I used a mix of schedule 20 and schedule 40 PVC.
