[QUOTE="Team Colibri, post: 324600, member: 11574"] I have weak spot for Simrad and Lowrance. :) Lowrance Elite-5x or Elite-5x DSI should do great. Both have the same 5 inch screen with 480x480 resolution and the same pricetag, but the DSI one has downscan (high kHz that gives great detail when looking for structure) while the normal 5x has a 2d sonar. I have tried the standard 5x myself, and it tracks bottom down to 120-140 meters (in saltwater). It will show fish down to around 30 meters. For the DSI you will need an adapter (20 $) to fit the transeducer to your trolling motor. I recommend that you go to a store with both the Elite-5 and Humminbird 5xx-series on display so you can fetle with both and find out wich one(s) you preferr. Pick one you like, screensize and resolution would be something to look for, since all that detail is lost in a small screen or a screen with low res. [/QUOTE]
