Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced graph/electronics for a 10' Pelican BassBuster? Been having good success shallow this summer with it and wanting to expand my range this winter.
Thanks in advance for the replies.

How do you like your Pelican?

I am considering getting a "small boat" too.

Do you have a trailer for yours?

Outboard motor or just a troll?

Any pros or cons would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry....don't know the answer about graphs.

Absolutely love it. Fish mostly Lake Tyler in it which is about 8' down right now. Got it on a single axle trailer made for a 12' flatbottom. Adjusted the runners to fit perfectly under it. Ran an eyebolt thru the front and it runs right up to the front roller and winches tight. Two guys avg. 225 lbs apiece and it is very stable. We use a Minnkota 55 lb trolling motor for it and it does the job great. Can't get in a hurry to get anywhere but you can put in off any shore line and be close to where you're fishing anytime. Biggest fish out of it so far is a 9lb 4 oz but we're gunning for a double digit.

Thanks for the Pelican review.

Sounds like a nice choice in a small boat.

9.4?...wow nice fish.

Take care.

It all depends on what you are looking for. (color, screen size, GPS) Most of the entry level graphs will be all you need. Most are user friendly.

You may want to mount the transducer on a board that you can clamp on and remove when not in use. I have an 11'3 Bass Tender. (about the same as pelican)
