The 240 is a great unit that show you a good representation of what is under
you! and will be the best for your eyes under $300

A couple of days ago I posted the following message:I have the
old--blue--13.5 Whaler with a new 40Hp Yamaha. Use it on the coast in
South Carolina--in the streams and marshes near the ocean.Maybe a
GPS/depth/fishfinder. I would like one that is easy to read--As I get
older my eyesight is no longer as good.....This is my first search for
help----Would love to hear anybody's recommendations. I fish mostly
in shallow waters near OYSTER beds and really need a depth finder for
shallow waters. Please email me at
--------Fred---retired USMC---Thanks for any help.

I got a lot of e-mails, etc----------I am leaning toward the Garmin
240--Is that too much for me??----I am new to this and need help--The
local dealer is no help-----Again thank you for help

Guys, let me introduce Roy, he's one of my fishing partners, and he's the
one that's taught me more about bass fishing than anything I could have ever
learned by reading. He's also the one that set my 240 for me.

Welcome to the club Roy! Don't let the winter time rants run you off... it
gets much better in the spring.
