Best sounder for $1000 budget.
Submitted by Paul_86 on Mon, 2022-06-13 11:25
G'day.
I'm just chasing opinions on what the best options are for a new sounder upto $1000 budget, bonus if it's a dual sounder/gps.
It will just be for a tinny, so mostly under 25m's of depth.
I done a search on here but I couldn't find any recent posts.
Cheers Paul

I don’t think you
Can go past Lawrance sounder/gps set up . Easy to use ( gps) sounder excellent in medium depth water . Good all rounder . Get price of internet then go to BCF store . They normally match price .( my mate just done it) 9 inch hook . It’s all I run as gps does the job . Only use sounder in sound . And up to 30 meters outside sound .

Hook 7 inch
With triple scan on my tinny.
There are two options, 1 takes a Navionics card and 1 doesn't but both have built in maps (basic).
Side scan in the shallows or finding schools is a plus.

Simrad
You can pick up a GO7 XSE with all the fruit ( card included ) for $1189. I'm running Simrad units in both my boats and they're awesome pieces of kit.
