Hello,
I'm working with three Fire Rescue agencies that have at least one important thing in common: limited budget for side-scan sonar. All three are volunteer-based, freshwater lake departments, trying to equip their small boats with gear for rescue/recovery ops. They have asked for recommendations on 2019-2020 hardware that is accurate, easy to use with decent displays. Budget range is $3500.00 to $5000.00 USD approximately.
Boats are new 22' and 24' LOA modified vee-hulls, aluminum landing craft models. Lake depths are typically 25' to 80' +/-. Two of the lakes are on top of 'drowned land', with the usual layers of organic debris on the bottom.
Do you have any particular products to recommend, suitable for emergency responders who work in all weather conditions in low-vis waterways? (Some of our other customers have given high marks to Raymarine and Humminbird.)
Thanks in advance.
Doug
