You need to call Gill. I believe that he is by far the most knowledgeable person that I have ever met in regards to transducers, who is willing to share his knowledge. Make sure that you have looked at a few and he is more than happy to tell you about the pros and cons to all.

Gill tests transducers for major systems and he knows the electronics and everything there is to know about the entire system. He can pair you up based on your boat, Head unit, body of water and skill level.

I was getting ready to buy a B260 for around $1,000 thinking that it was the best one on the market... Gill asked me if I hunt, and I said yes. He then told me that for Lake Erie a B260 was like using a 10x scope on a 30 -06 shooting a deer 20' away.

I don't know that he wants his number in the forums, but I'm happy to give it out to anyone who PM's me or texts me. My number is 740-591-5507

If anyone else knows Gill feel free to say what you think of him.
