Answer 1

Three most important features in a fishfinder:  resolution, resolution, and resolution.  Get the most vertical pixels per inch you can afford.  In freshwater or inshore ocean, the best value for the $$ without doubt is the Eagle Fishmark 320.

But if you'll be in salt water over 150ft or so you may need something with more power.

Answer 2

Hummingbird and Lowrance make good inexpensive (under $250USD) fishfinders.  Here is a site that has many different ones for sale.  Good luck.
