Is there a GPS / Fishfinder that is good for both Kayak / Jon Boat / Sailboat use? (fish finding + navigation)?

[Chuck_FLA]

I'm purchasing a Garmin Striker 4 Plus for my fishing kayak. It got me to wondering, is there a tool that could be considered portable that would work well for fishing finding (transducer) and for sailboat navigation and course plotting? I'm trying to avoid purchasing a multi thousand dollar device. Just wondering if there's some perfect piece of hardware that I'm not considering.

Thank you!

We had a Lowrance fishfinder/plotter on a previous boat that might be the type of thing you’re looking for. Lowrance is Navico’s fishing targeted brand and generally has lower cost options than their Simrad and B&G products. I don’t know much about their current models but something like the Eagle fishfinder might be worth looking into. You’d probably need to get two transducers and two RAM mounts - one to mount to each boat, but with that it might be possible to move it back and forth.
