[QUOTE="russ010, post: 294870, member: 677"] If all you're looking for is depth & temperature, then either unit will work just fine. I wouldn't count on them to actively search for fish, but you can tell what the bottom composition is with them fairly easy. I've never used Garmin, but from most of what I've read on them, they are pretty good units. Have you thought about buying a $200 unit (since you are looking at getting 2 - $100 units)? You could get a bit pricier unit, then just buy an extra transducer for the trolling motor, extra power cord and mount - then just take the unit off each base and put it either on the bow or on the dash area depending on where you are at the time [/QUOTE]
