A non sal****er doesn't work in salt water?? I don't know who told you that,
but its bull. Go with the Garmin 240. I have one (not the blue) on my bass
boat and a 23 footer I use for flounder fishing. No problems whatsoever! In
fact, there is a setting on them where you can specify water type. Fresh or
salt. I used to have a cheap Huminbird on the 23 footer and it worked fine
until it died of old age.

Guys,

which fishfinder should one get for fishing on sal****er/ocean, rivers
and lakes?

A Garmin 240 blue was recommended for me, what other opinoins are out
there?
I was told the "blue" is for use in sal****er as non sal****er
fishfhinders dont work in sal****er?

I have a garmin GPS and like garmin products so I wouldnt mind getting
a garmin, unless there is better stuff out there...

I also want to fishfinder to tell me the depth of water below the boat
(very important).

Oh and of course it should make it easier to catch these little
b******* when they hide in the water

Thanks Bill!

Whats the "blue" for anyways? When looking at the spec it has more
power and goes to deeper depth... is that all the difference?

Matt

Maybe this will clear it up for you.
