I have two Humminbirds. Not sure which models. One came with the yak I bought from James and I bought the other due to the P15's scupper mount.

Eagle Cuda on the intro 'yak. And just ordered Humminbird 581i (they do sponsor our AOTY) for the new T13. Would have paid a little more for down imaging if they had a scupper mount for it. Thought I wanted a Lowrance Mark-4 but couldn't figure out a simple and clean trans mount for the T13.

Currently running a Lowrance M68C GPS MAP/Fishfinder (color) but am switching to a Lowrance HDS-5 Gen 2 for this year.  Prefer the waterproof connector of the M68 & older Eagle stuff (size, waterproofness, etc) but the new stuff all uses the larger plugs.  Can't justify the cost of the Simrad 19" monitor with radar but it WOULD look cool as hell!

Humminbird Piranhamax 170.  Cheap but just need to see depth and structure.  Works great so far.

I use a Humminbird 788ci GPS/FF on my Pro Angler and 15' Gregor.  I also have a high end Humminbird side scan for the Gregor but I never use it, I actually prefer the 788ci.  The 788 has a large high resolution screen that makes it very easy to see for my old eyes.
