    Does anybody run the eagle fishmark fishfinders? I need to get something a little better than the x47 that came with my boat. The x47 is basically just a depthfinder in my opinion. Just wondering if the fishmarks are very good for marking fish!!!

    The Fishmark 480 is a nice option for a low-cost unit. It has excellent resolution at 480×480 pixels.

    I run an Eagle 480. It is a decent unit for the money.

    A fishfinder/GPS is just like putting a motor on a boat. One should put the biggest motor on the boat that it can handle if you can afford it and you should look at fishfinder/GPS in the same light. I say this as a person that lives by my electronics. I fish deep water many times miles from shore. If you don’t depend on your electronics as much, there are many good units available for 400 -600 bucks. Either way you will need to spend the time to learn how to interpret what any fishfinder is telling you. I would suggest using or borrowing a underwater camera while doing this. Learn to trust and to interpret is key to both the least and the most expensive units for without this they are all just depthfinders. I personally love Lowrance and would not use anything else. IMHO

    Fishmarks are AWESOME for the dollar!!!! Even if you can find the 320 series……Great unit that use to sell for $160!!! Can’t go wrong!

    The 480 for about $210 is all the better!

    I had a 320 on my old rig and loved it. However, if I were to buy just a plain jane fishfinder, I would go with the 480.
