Headed out of I bay with the Penn Yan I bought end of last season after much $ and rigging got to fish off her for the 1st time.

Every thing worked great and went 5 for 10 fishing ship builders to Webster Pier.

Feels good to be fishing the Big O again!

My Garmin 50 DV arrived today so I went right to hooking it up.

I was less than pleased to find the transducer only has a 20' cable. I checked around for an extension and they are $90 for 10' extension cable and no one had one in stock

I was ready to pack it up and return it but I called Garmin and spoke to customer service ( got right thru no waiting on hold) I told them of my displeasure and They are sending me out the extension free of charge!

This was one of the reasons I chose Garmin 1st rate customer service!

I'll report back after I use it a bit.

Great day of fishing for sure,thanks for the reports!

Nice brown,looks like lampreys are still an issue

Nice! what port are you fishing out of today?

I am in the same situation, Furuno 1670 or 1870 but after transducer and mappping software cost climbed

Deciding factor was 1670 and 1870 are horizontal displays and narrow

This week ended up ordering the Garmin echomap 50DV it's a 5" screen but a verticle 5"

The Garmin echoMAP 50dv has a 5-inch display, which provides VGA-quality imaging. Built into the echoMAP 50dv is Garmin’s trademarked High-Definition Identification target tracking technology. Better known as HD-ID, it provides a super clear image of the area under the boat. Garmin echoMap 50dv combines HD-ID with the DownVü scanning sonar, which provides a virtually photographic view of structure in the water.

The built-in GPS receiver on the Garmin echoMAP 50dv has a speed of 10 Hz which allows it to update position 10 times a second. The higher update frequency results in more fluid boat movement display. Also included is sonar-recording capability for coordinating the timing of the sonar return with your boat’s position. You can playback your sonar recording on a PC with HomePort software or send it wirelessly to an Apple device equipped with BlueChart Mobile software.

The Garmin echoMAP 50dv comes pre-loaded LakeVu HD map package, which provides details of 17,000-plus US lakes; or the BlueChart g2 coastal map package. The 50dv is capable of storing up to 5,000 waypoints and 100 routes. It also has a track log capacity of 50,000 points, with 50 saved tracks. The unit is equipped with two microSD cards for expanding the built-in flash memory and additional cartography. Garmin echoMAP 50dv comes with the transducer, power and data cable, tilt and swivel mount, flush mount, protective cover, and a user manual

google  "The hull truth"   Ive been resurching a GPS FISHFINDER this winter.

Transducers seem to have as much to do with their operation as the fishfinders themselves.

You can learn about the new chirp tecnology,downview ,sideview etc.

I was going to go with Furuno but the right map is 300 bucks.

Im going Garmin .Very reliable. The best maps. 

My choice of garmin units are...... I havent purchased yet.... Echomap 50s   or    Garmin 720s.

"Digital oasis" has the best prices.

Looking for a combo unit for my 22' PennYan any one have any experience with the Furuno 1870f unit?

Any other suggestions for a good user friendly unit?
