Answer 3

It all depends, as usual, on what your willing to spend. The Matrix 97, in my opinion, is one of the finest available, more than enough for most lakes and all rivers as it has  a 1500 ft. depth range, 5" color display, full GPS chartplotting with built in unimaps, this is one fine machine, but at $800, you may want to consider downgrading in order to save a few bucks, depending on how many of the features that you really want.  Here's the site..........
