Dougie,

    Are you coming for training or just to go shopping?  You'll have to plunder
the crown jewels for all the stuff you want to buy while you're here...:-):-)

    Really can't help answer your question, although I like Eagle/Lowrance
equipment but I don't fish to that depth.  You might also ask the same question
in VICKI::BOATS...

375.2Consider Dual FrequencySALEM::ABRAMSThu Apr 14 1994 14:1512
    
    
    	The new Apelco XCD560 has 300 watts RMS so it should give you a
    pretty good picture at 100 meters if the water is not to cloudy or
    filled with silt.  Some of the new Hummminbird depth sounders have
    500 watts RMS but they operate at a high frequency so you have very
    good defination but limited depth in anything but clear water.  If
    you are looking for a depth sounder that will go deep you should be
    considering a dual frequency sounder with a 50/200 khz capability.
