    almost any sounder will be OK for those depths, but as the old saying goes, "bigger is better" Furuno are indeed a good brand, but they also make cheaper models, just get the biggest screen with the best resolution, and max power that you can afford.

    look at the furuno 620 or 585, great sounders but a decent outlay on purchase. the new lowrance HDS units look alright and a little easier on the back pocket. if you are in Brisbane head to the boat show i am sure there will be some good deals going on (hopefully), cheers Lee

    Whitworths are having there 15% boatshow sale, during the brissie boat show.

    That improves the costs.... and no entry fee to the show.


    IMO...... Furuno.
