Looking for suggestions for a fish/depth finder for an 18' bowrider.

[FairOaksSeaRay]

I'm the new owner of an '02 Sea Ray 182-also brand new to this forum. This boat has no depth finder and I do occasionally fish-never catch anything, but I enjoy trying! This boat has a Merc 4.3L I/O. Its the first "full size" power boat I've owned. I'd like to get something thats easy to install without drilling any holes in the hull, or maybe a portable unit since I still have a small sail/row boat with a trolling motor. Thanks for your advice/knowledge.

I saw on craigslist today a basic hummingbird with a suction cup mounted transducer. I looked on CL but can't find it now. Sorry
Are you in Fair Oaks Ca? I love in Rancho Cordova right down the hill.

It's not so much the boat size, it's how you plan on using your depthfinder. Fishing or what? What waters do you plan on boating in? That's what we need to know.

Better watch those Cavemen Kagee....they may club your boat to death one night..

Not sure if you live near a dicks sporting goods, but you can atleast check out their website. They have quite a few fish/depth finders for a good price.
