Canoe...Fishfinder...Am I crazy?

Okay, so I have $100 bucks left to spend on fishing junk. (My mom gave
me a $200 visa giftcard for Xmas..decided it was going towards fishing,
and couldnt be spent on anything sensible...like gas....)

Anyways...anyone think I could put a fish finder in the canoe.....?

I kinda think a regular marine battery is out of the question, it being
a 15'6" canoe and all. Anyone know of any decent depthfinders that would
run on regular/rechargeable batteries...maybe D cells or something?

...or should I just scrap the idea and buy another rod/reel combo?

Couple of different ways to go. Fishing Buddy portable. A lot of float
tubers go this way. A Piranha or Eagle for about $90 at Wal-mart and other
places. And a small rechargeable battery. Gel Cells, they run the finder
all day. Just have to have a good charger for them, or they die. Small
motorcycle wet cell battery is also a good choice. Can either attach the
transducer to the bottom of the canoe and shoot through the hull or attached
to a board and clamp to the side of the canoe. Look at some of the Kayak
boards www.yakfishing.com or www.kayakfishing.com
