Are there any decent ones in the $200-ish range?

slightly used ones...

if it were me i would save 200 or so more and get a gps+ color unit.

or save a lot more and start getting into the DI/SI stuff.

I run a Lowrance x68 at times and it works pretty good. You most likely could get a very slightly used one for a bit over 200 i would think?

Lowrance has a couple of gray scale sonar unit in that price range-the Mark 5X and Mark 5X Pro

If you want a higher resolution display in gray scale, Humminbird has the 570.

There is the lower resolution display 560 also

You can get some really good deals if you shop around.

I got a Lowrance HDS-7 and love it.

Normally $949.00

Reconditioned unit with 1 year warranty from Cabelas sells for $799.00 usually but was on sale for $749.00

Lowrance still gave me the $100 rebate.

Cabelas sent me a $50 off coupon off, I get them all the time.

My credit card give me 3% off all purchases at Cabelas, saved another $20 here.

New total was $579 plus tax, I was laughing at all the people that are trying to sell these used for $800.

Also if you shop in the stores, I walked into Gander Mountain and told them to knock $50 of their LSS-1 side scan, and the guy didn't even blink and said ok, wish I had said $100. You can probably talk them down at any of the fishing stores.

just signed up here usually over at *** . but i like the setting here better (*** has too many cliques). anyways i just upgraded my graphs and may have exactly what your wanting . I have a mark 5x w/extra transducer and a x96 (without transducer its mounted in hull of boat) there in great condition and everything works great and no scratches on them ,.can send pictures if need be . I would need to remove them from my boat though as my new graphs will be here mid next week, Ive had the boat since late June of 2010 .i would be willing to part with them for 250.00 (includes shipping) let me know if your interested in them . have a great day .
