OK boys, here goes. If you had roughly $1000 to spend, which depth finder and which trolling motor would you buy? Would you allocate more money for 1 or the other?

I currently have a MG 46 lb 12v and a Humminbird 535 on the bow, nothing at the wheel.

pushing a 19.5 foot boat, and I don't fish for very long when I do fish. Maybe 4 -5 hours max. Fish Ray Hubb 90 - 95% of the time.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Well you can get both from www.BobRidgwayRepair.com at SW Parts in Dallas. He often has rebuilt T/M's at a good discount.

I'd bet Bob will cut you a good deal on a package for both.

I would go for a trolling motor and then use whatever you have left for a fishfinder.
