well i ended up taking the easy way out at the pro shop today and picked up a Fishin Buddy 1200. I really wanted to get somethin, didn't matter what as long as i could see what the bottom was like, before the sonoma tournament and this thing definately was the easiest answer. No battery, no separate transducer, etc, but im sure the quality may lack a little.

Does anyone else have this, or any of the fishin buddies. If so whats the pros and cons on these things, are they accurate???
