I had a really hard time finding this particular unit in stock, but after several vendors told me they didn't have it, I finally was able to find it here. I've had it mounted on my Hobie Kayak for about a month now and it seems to be working well. At least the depth part is working fine. As far as being a fish finder, I have to say that it hasn't helped me land any fish yet. I've yet to see any of the telltale arcs like you see in the documentation, but I'll keep trying it. As far as sensitivity and noise-reduction capability I'd have to say it must work pretty well, I was able to identify my lure on the screen and watch it go up and down as I fed out line, so that is pretty impressive. I haven't figured out how to use the GPS part yet, the included map is not very high resolution and doesn't correspond to the body of water I've tried it on, and it is not obvious how to set markers to return to. Overall, I'd say it does a good job, the screen is super nice, bright and easy to read, the menu system works well, so I give high marks to that part of it. The build is solid and the mounting bracket is well made.

Great product for the money. I bought one several years back and put it on my jon boat. I liked it so much that when I bought a larger boat I decided to put the same unit on it. If you are looking for a unit that is simple to operate, dependable, and will take you where you want to go and bring you back, this is it. Never failed me.
