    Just bought my first bass boat, and I need help finding a good/cheap GPS

    I actually want a good (and cheap, since I'm broke now) GPS / depth finder. I need one to mount close to the console and one by the trolling motor.

    I can do without the console one for a little while since it has one now, but the depth finder by the trolling motor is broke and I need to get it replace pretty quickly.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Look at a Humminbird 581 i. Good outfit that's really affordable. I have one & it's been solid as a rock.

    Check out the electronics for sale forum. Lots of good units there.

    Thanks for all of the responses. Hopefully I'll have one in the next few weeks.

    The Eagle 480s are still available online, nice simple GPS/fishfinder that accepts Navionics Gold chips. Lowrance pretty much dropped all their less expensive GPS models to push the HDS series, but for some reason this Eagle is still on sale
    Boatless again but looking forward to Spring
