would you be interested in a Hummingbird 797c2si? I've had it about 5 years. I works perfect. That is a side imaging unit with GPS. I also have the Hot Spots fishing map chip. I'm pretty sure I have the books and might even still have the box but I'm not sure about that. I could use some extra money right now and would sell for $500 firm. If you are interested let me know. If you wait till the water is soft I can't guaranty I'd still sell it. I love that thing. I just couldn't afford the big ones.

I doubt you will find a gps unit around a $100 bucks,atleast not yet,even used at that price I would be cautious

Yea, thanks fellas. Ive been seeing them new w/ GPS for about $160, but like you said Im a little cautious of them. Just putting a line out there to probe a bit. You never know unless you ask. Im starting to think I'll just go with a decent depth finder without GPS for this starter boat. Depth and structure finding will proof far more important for what Im looking to accomplish in a 12 footer.
