What are you going to put it on and how much do you want to spend? Might help us steer you in the right direction.

Budget will help alot...but I would take a good look at the Humminbird 300, 500 or 700 Series they offer Dual Beam Sonar Units with GPS Mapping in color or Monochrome screens and a wide variety of pricing. www.humminbird.com

Just purchased a 2002 Nitro 750 NX and I dont want to spend alot of money on a fish finder....$200.00 or less....$100. or less would be even better.  Thanks for your help.

$200 to get Sonar and GPS limits the selection. The closest thing in that price range is the 365i - Momochrome, Internal GPS and Dual Beam Sonar. MSRP  $299 http://store.humminbird.com/products/307117/365i_Combo

Bare bones, less than $100, can't beat an Eagle Cuda. Had 2 on my old boat for this very reason. No GPS or color, just a basic sonar that performed relatively well for the $$. Just my $.02

The recently released Lowrance Mark 5X might be of interest (monochrome, sonar only).  View at Bass Pro Shops below for $160.
