I am looking for a combo chart plotter / depthfinder. I use to have a Raymarine C120 on my old boat, but I do not want to spend near that amount.

20'Center console and was hoping to spend less than $500.

Any suggestions?
 
Not going to happen, sorry for the bad news.

I have the C120 in my boat and for my center console I have a Garmin 441S with an in hull transducer. Really good unit, color and Garmin updates software about every 6 months to keep unit current. Unit and transducer will run you about 600 plus tax. Best unit on the market for that price. You will not find a chart plotter / sounder for less then that. Screen is small but anything bigger you get into the 800 plus dollar range.

any questions just ask
 
The 740S from Garmin is a great unit but expensive.

Have the Garmin 740 on the bridge,excellent unit,could not be happier. Also have the garmin 441 at lower helm. Also good unit. At a local marine electronics dealer I paid $560 for the 441 combined. Well worth the money.

I have a Garmin 4210 for my boat and we just got a Garmin 740S for my Uncle's boat. Both great units. The touch screen on the 740S is fantastic.
My wife and I both have portable Garmins that we usse in the cars that don't have built in GPS.
I find that Garmins are very easy to use.
 
Lowrance makes a good combo, but personally I like separate units if space is available.
 
I have the Garmin 441s and paid $455 for it at West Marine when it was on sale. Good little unit for that price. They retail higher, but if you keep your eyes peeled you can sometimes find a deal. Assuming you install it yourself you'll be around the price you were looking for.
