The consensus is that a flasher is best for ice and a fish finder is best for open water. That makes sense. A flasher stares straight down from a fixed spot while a fish finder is designed for movement.
I have a Humminbird Pirahna Max 160 on my kayak and it does almost everything I need. Cost was $160. They changed the model numbers for this year so the 160 is no longer available new.
A Marcum Showdown Troller 2.0 is $199 but almost everyone is out of them for the year. You can get the original 1.0 from Marcum for $139 right now - and they'll upgrade it to 2.0 for an extra $50.
