[Rhodes22-list] Transom mount transducers

[daniel snyder]

Lou,

Stan is building my new boat for a May delivery.  I'm installing a Lowrance 
GPS chartplotter/Sounder....think the model is 337 or something of that 
order.  From all the models I've checked out this seems to offer the most 
for the least....it also takes a multi media cartridge so I can purchase 
detailed electronic maps of Lake Champlain and other large lakes.  At least 
one other owner uses this model has reported on the list that he's very 
satisfied.  Hope this is useful to you.
