[QUOTE="SLob-O, post: 309782, member: 6072"] Thanks! Yeah, I also have this build thread on iboats.com and boy do those guys pick apart a jon boat! no faith I tell ya :D That's why I figured I'd put it on here where there are more people who work with jons. Yeah, I was torn between the b&w and spending the extra $ on a colored one... the 581 comes with GPS, Down imaging and what they call switchfire...which I believe is just the regular sonar. The one thing that bothered me initially was the contrast...when you look at this finder next to a colored one at the store it seems disappointing and almost hard to see the screen. But once I got in outside and in the boat... it looked great! no problem at all, so don't let that fool you! Also.. the lake maps that it comes with does NOT have depth contour lines. you can buy chips for it that run around $100 to get those. I just purchased the WI maps. [/QUOTE]
