Anybody have any recommendations on a fish finder for my Malibu Stealth 12? I guess its all about price ranges. But $20-$250 is what I'd like to spend.

Welcome!  There's a few guys that fish Linda Mar fairly regularly as well as HMB... usually when rockfish is open. Hook ups will be plentiful.  :smt006

I recommend taking a kayak class and/or heading out with one of the local guides and definitely search the safety section.

Thank you.
That will primarily be my fishing grounds. Unless the flatties and/or salmon are running.
But if there are any guys who are willing to take a greenhorn out in the Pacifica and Linda Mar area I'd appreciate an invite.

I vote that the name of this site should be changed from NCKA to STMCTBN (spent too much can't turn back now)...
