Default Need Advice..Fish Finder

Hello all...New to Fishing last year. Picked up a 14' aluminum boat which came with a piranah 99.00 fish finder whatever the cheapest one is.

I want something better...just sold an old camper and have 500.00 to play with. Also would like to have something to upgrade to a bigger bass type boat in the future. I am also a computer/gadget freak so anything more technically more advanced does not deter me.

Live in Michigan...fishing smaller lakes and rivers.

zook beat me to it, that's what i was gonna recommend. another one you might look at is the x135, it's not color but it is a great graph for the money with 480 X 480 mega pixels.
