I'm making this posting for a mate without a computer.

He is upgrading from a Lowrance LMS350 and wants to make the jump to colour. He fishes inside the reef in central Queensland. Maximum depth is not such an issue with 100m depth being extremely rare.

Most of his fishing is for red emperor etc in wire weed / fern.
He has his choice narrowed down to either the Koden CVS-118 or the Furuno FCV-600L. If anyone has had an opportunity to compare these units in practice your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
