If I had to buy a brand new fishfinder, I'd get...

I'm in the market for a new FF. I am in the Chesapeake, and probably won't do much offshore fishing. I'd like a fairly large display, like 6 or 8 inches across. Don't need GPS or anything. Suggestions? Thanks.

Furuno FCV 585 or 620

I agree with miketv, you can't go wrong with the FCV585 or FCV620. Furuno is first rate when it comes to fish finders!

Furuno FCV620.

Also use the Furuno 620 in the lower Chesapeake Bay and really like it. I just wish they had put a higher resolution screen other than the old standard 240 by 320 pixel count on the 5.6 inch screen. But another finder that is interesting is the new Sitex SVS 650 6.5 inch with a 450 by 750 pixel count high resolution screen. It also has two rotary knobs as the 620 and is less expensive. The Sitex is probably modeled somewhat to compete with the 620. If I were buying today, I would have to give this new Sitex a hard look.

Furuno hands down

I agree in the Furuno statement.

It is about the best

Thanks. I knew the answer already, just making sure my noggin is still on straight.
