I'm looking for a decent fish finder to pinpoint good structure that for less that 200 bucks or near enough. I have a wilderness RIDE with slide track system. Any good ideas?

Went to cabellas in the bargain cave. They had a hummingbird with color sonar, gps and down imaging for like 350. Model was 587ci HD. That is a steal considering I paid almost $500 for mine. you will not find a unit that has sonar, di and gps under 400.

Check the box because there is probably some thing missing when it's that cheap.

I have a 2012 Ride 135 with the gear track and I use the Mad Frog transducer arm with a YakAttack ball and a ram mount for my 587CI DI and it works very well. I have it set up so I can remove all of it if I am not going to use it.

We carry a great package deal through Hobie on a complete fish finder package. Included is a Lowrance X-4 Pro Fish Finder, RAM Fish finder Mount, and a Lowrance Fish Finder Installation Kit I. The complete package is $208.00. The installation kit has all components to mount the transducer inside the hull. This is a popular item that gives you a great unit for a budgetary price.

I bought a Lowrance Mark-4 DSI from Cabela's for $229.00 that is Sonar, Down Imaging and GPS. It is not color but that doesn't bother me. It is only available at Cabela's and right after I bought mine they had them for $199.00 at the store.  I paired it with the Lowrance Kayak Scupper Hole mount for $50.00 and I am glad I went with that mpount instead of rigging something myself.  I have pics of the complete, no holes drilled, installation if you would like to see it.  BigDozer66

DSI does not shoot thru the hull very well, get the Scupper mount from Lowrance.
