Wedger Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Mate of mate looking for a relatively budget sounder and plotter so wondering what I can suggest as this market is moving so quickly now. Budget £5-800 Inshore boat looking in all the nooks and crannies I'd guess! Have already suggested joining the club! Cheers Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niggle Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Look at the Raymarine Dragonfly Trev if possible go to larger screen,has downscan as well Wedger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Worth looking at the Lowrance Elite 7 Chirp. That has downscan and can be connected to the VHF, whereas the Dragonfly doesn't have an NMEA output. Wedger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fox Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Trev, Can I suggest your friend looks at transducers carefully as well? The cost of purchase, and effort involved in routing cables back to the unit and associated power supply can tip you over budget if you're not aware.
