I used to have the Fishin Budddy II, and it was ok. I saw how much better the new units performed, so I picked up a 2250 when I found a good deal. I have no complaints at all with my 2250. Granted, it does not have all the bells and whistles, but plain and simple it works. When I can show a swivel on the graph in 100+ feet of water, I'd say that is pretty precise. It doesn't just show the swivel either, it also shows fish very well. My "C" batteries seem to last a long time, a lot longer than in my Buddy II. One set will last me the whole summer while in my pontoon, but the cold of ice fishing zaps them a little faster (rechargeables work great). I use my buddy both on my pontoon & ice fishing, thats one feature I really like & you don't have to have special brackets, extra tranducers etc. I have no complaints with my 2250 & would recommend it to anyone.
