I was poking around at a garage saleand come across I nice humminbird fish finder its the Wide Eye model with water temp and speed. its rather cool has a view angle at 120 degrees to the either the right or left or a split screen thats shows 60 degrees to the right and 60 degrees to the left. everything is in good working order on it took a few minutes to swap it with my other humminbird and tryed her out this evening at our local lake. i

it didnt have a price on it an when I asked the gentlemen he said 5 bucks and its yours. I was like wow!! and ask him if he was sure I then told him to take 20 then he insisted I just take it for nothing. I couldnt do that so I gave him the 5 he wanted. I feel absolutely blessed, not too often ya get literally a gift like that.

That sure sounds like a great deal HDW, have you had a chance to try it out to see if it is working ? I have an old Hummingbird TCR it still works great but my speaker on the beeper quick a couple of years ago. But, all that beeper did anyways was drive me nuts so I do not miss it.

naw I doubt its one of the newer ones, it might be new though but a model from a few years ago. its in real nice shape and was in openned but original packaging. I dont really care what its worth all I know is it cost me 5 bucks and its waaaaaay!!! better than my 10 year old humminbird wide 148. I tried it out that evening I got it and it works great I love the water tempature reading which my wide 148 didnt have. that will really help finding that cooler water in the dead summer months.

I appreciate it. i didn't think I would need one until I decided to fish a new lake..They are also good in saving your boat prop..

The next time I will not fasten it on th etrolling motor..I have a plan how to mount one with out drilling or mounting on the trolling motor.

to be totally honest with ya I dont actually use them to find fish lol My main use for a fish finder is navagating the bottom for depth and structure. I suppose its nice to know if fish are around ya but you dont know what kind of fish they are LOL you might hope or think its bass ya see on the screen but shoot it could actually be crappie, carp or drum.
