Hi, MD.
That sonarphone is cool and versatile, just wonder about how rugged. My only repair to a FF has been to replace a transducer when it hit something at low impact in the shallow water I fish.
In theory, a transducer can work shooting thru a hull. So now I'm wondering if the tranducer can be placed inside the wet area behind a float tube for protection and to keep from collecting debris.
Also, since I don't use a FF much, I'm wondering if a cheap unit can be converted to "scan" mode by tilting the transducer angle at various angles. It would be nice to expand the cone and even go to side scan without using separate transducers.... That would make it more useful for me.

[quote MasterDaad]Thanks for the responses. I'm still looking into options and will probably go with something I can find used in good condition.
One thing I did run across that I may try (because I like tinkering with new stuff) is the Sonarphone stuff from vexilar.[/quote]
