aquasport 170 chartplotter/fishfinder
Bat21:
going to the new york boat show in January and and was going to purchase a chartplotter/fishfinder for my 170, i use the boat for fishing mostly in long island sound with a max depth of 100'. any recommendations ? is a 7" screen to big for this boat?

Get the specks on the combo unit you're interested in and cut a cardboard replica of it and set it on the console to see if you'll have any room left. I bought one that was taller than wide and fit it into the corner of the windshield. Also make sure the unit has built in GPS antenna. I bought a Garmin GPSMap 547xs (can't believe it's discontinued already :03: ) - it has a 5" screen and it's plenty big enough for a small boat.

Opinion alert- I don't believe it's a function of the size of your boat more than it's a function of your age and eyesight :old01:
I have a 7" SI unit on my kayak as well as 7" and 5" on my 17' Osprey ... it lets me see all the fish I can't catch :41:
Irrespective of size, get a colour unit. Good luck
