I have the Hummingbird black and white. An old version but, I tell you, it has put me on soooo many fish I won't get rid of it in the near future.
A color would be awesome, I admit, but I am also in the old you get what you pay for thing also, so when it comes to color, I am thinking I have to pay more.
Wouldn't you want to be looking at pixel, and cone shape, plus maybe side view? I mean the most for the buck.
Now On fishing buddy's, I had one of the earlier models, but it was the $250 model so the top of the line. It was terrible. About the only thing it was good for was depth and iffy on that. It was nice that it was all in one unit.
I am aware that they have come a really long way and now the cone is one of the best. Still not sold on them all they way.
The thing is they are still up there in price to where you can get a boat mount with more features for less. And batteries...the small rechargeable like the ones for home security systems and you are good to go.
As far as mounting...the Archives are full of ideas
