| Pros and cons? Looks to be a good finder for the price. |

| I don't own a 240, however, I have seen the new eagle 320's and they look very nice. You might want to look at those as well. Enjoy the new boat. I put one of those new eagle tri-finders on my bow, its supposed to have a 150degree conse to give a better view of the bottom, we'll see.

| The 240 is a great structure finder. Very easy to learn to use, and versatile on the water. One thing I don't like is that it tracks slowly, even on the fast setting. They are priced very low right now at Cabelas- $229 I believe.

| I've had a Garmin 240 for about 1.5 years now. I love it. The detail is great and it is very easy to use.
I've ordered a new boat and plan on mounting the 240 in the bow. I'm looking at Garmin's GPS/Sounder 188 for the console. |

| The Garmin 240 is great. Best depthfinder for the money! |

| I've run mine for one season and no complaints. Works great and worth the money.

Location: Plainfield IL | I researched the x-85 and the 240, the 240 has all the same features and the power ratings are about the same. For the $$ I went with the Garmin, its a great unit. |

Location: Eau Claire, WI | Hi guys..
Lookin for a little jewelry for the new baby...that's great
In the past 3 seasons I have run 2 G-240's and one 160. Great units and normally I would have said run...don't walk to the nearest place and buy one....However.
This past weekend I had a chance to see the new Eagle 320...WOW.... I played with a display model at a local store.
Less money, more power, better clarity...Very user frindly product from Lowrance (Eagle parent company)
Either one would be a great choice...if I were buying one today I would be hard pressed not to buy the Eagle.
