[size:14pt][/size] So ive never used any kind of electronics. Ive got just a small 14' jon boat so i dont need something super fancy. I want to get something so i can see structure and also fish. Im tired of guessing and always coming up short lol. I want to spend around $100. Any suggestions on what would be the best??

for that price range I would just expect it to show you depth and some structure if you are luky. It is hard to get a good image at that price point. I would consider spending a little bit more if I were you , You will be much happier in the long run. but if you can not just plan on using it to find depth and it will not dissapoint you as much

I had the 151 on my bass boat a couple years ago as a BETA test. I recently gave it to a friend that fishes catfish tournaments. This little unit has incredible detail and is so easy to use. For $100 you can't beat either of these units. Give them a serious look.
