You might want to check out the Humminbird PiranhaMax 160. It is a good little fish finder for the buck $199.00 at Canadian Tire. It has Water temerature, 4 level Grey scale, Duel beam sonar and lots of other features. It is a very good finder for the money and it works well. I have one in my Kayak and it is a tough little unit with lots of features. Fred...

And Radioworld has the same fishfinder at a far better price. $140
They will mail it to you for $10 extra.

I tried Radio world and could not get the order to go through so I tried fishfinders.com and got one coming for $149.00 shipping and taxes.. cool.. I hope.
Thanks I will let yous know what I think.

You should have phoned the toll free number at Radioworld and actually talked to someone. I've never had a problem when I phone. Usually delivered in 3-4 days not counting weekends.
It appears fishfinders.com is a US company.
Did you inquire how they ship? You could be nailed by very high brokerage fees if by courier.

opps... I will refuse to pay for it..grab it and run.

Actually being from Oakville your close enough to have just drove over to Radioworld.
For me being close to London it's a bit further.

i use a Lowrance Mark-5x DSI Portable Fishfinder, i can get them for around 200 bucks now.. (refurbished units)
i run a threw hull transducer on it in the winter, and it will actualy shoot threw the ice.. when pulled along in a plastic sled.
there is a few portage only lakes that i fish, so i use this set up all year around.

just some food for thought, for any one else that reads this..
you can also buy a kit to make your lowarance hds unit portable, i had that as well, but only use it when i am fishing from the hut as they say those units screens could crack below minus 20.

I have the 170.
Here's the differences between the 150, 160 & 170.
150- 20 deg transducer, 800 Watts (PTP) power 160 V x 128 H pixels.
160- 20 & 60 deg transducer, 800 Watts (PTP) power, 160 V x 128 H pixels.
170- 20 & 60 transducer, 1600 Watts (PTP) power, 240 V x 160 H pixels.
To sum it up the only difference between the 150 & 160 is the 160 has a dual beam transducer.
The 170 has the dual beam transducer with twice the power & almost twice the pixels.
