[QUOTE="paper, post: 437101, member: 8803"] I relocated my regular fishing boat to my wife's home in Kentucky, and now I'm missing it and want something cheap for small lake/small river fishing here in IL/WI.. A friend offered a nice, older 12' aluminum (can't remember the brand) fishing boat in good shape.. It's on a decent trailer, and wears an old 9.5hp Johnson that runs great.. There's no electrics on the boat, so I'm going to slap a transom mount trolling motor (one lake I fish is "No gas motor") and I'd like to have a way to know how deep I am and marking fish is a plus.. So (yes, I'm getting to the point, now) I'm looking for a generic fish locator to mount on this.. Something cheap, but well made, and I don't need a lot of frills. I don't NEED color, or anything other than it telling me my depth and if there's fish under me.. I don't want temporary, and I don't want a bobber style.. Just something to mount and wire.. Suggestions?? Anyone have something they've got laying around after an upgrade? :D [/QUOTE]
