I have thought the same thing..... Just tells you the depth 23' behind the rock you just hit...
Was thinking about the Humminbird PiranhaMAX 176i for a Gray Scale replacement....And that would still leave a 2" hole for another accessory down the road....
I installed a piranamax 5 back in 2002 on my old seadoo. It worked great for 10 years and then the transducer bit the dust. I replaced it with a piranamax 170 that worked great too. I think for an easy to use cheap unit that reads quickly the piranamax is solid. I decided to get a little fancier on my latest install on my Yamaha as I went with the Lowrance Elite 5 DSI. After a season of use I think I should have gone with a simpler model as the Lowrance is slow to boot up compared to the Piranamax and the menu system is not as intuitive, meaning I need to read the manual and then remember what I read between uses.
