I would look at the Humminbird Matrix 35, it has 90 degrees of coverage.

Although the one I bought worked for 5 minutes before the screen went blank and the unit would no longer recognizing the transducer connection.

But it looked nice for those 5 minutes... Needless to say I returned it, and have not decided what I am going to buy. On paper it is a nice unit, but reliability is a big question mark.
