One of my many projects this year is redoing our RIB. (11' with 25hp & console)
It is getting new cables, a new fuseblock, nav lights that work, seat rebuilt and a few other odds and ends.
One thing it needs is a new depthfinder/fishfinder.
I want the fishfinder so I have some feel for the contour of the bottom when crabbing from it. I could probably get by with a 2" round gauge with digital display. I don't need GPS/Speed info.
I don't want to spend much because it is in a completly unprotected (read easy to steal and weather abuses it) boat all of the time aside from winter when I bring it home to store in the shop.
I know hummingbird/eagle are the lower end of things and probably where I will end up but I am looking for fairly recent model specific experiences that others have used in a tender/RIB.
