Yes but what does it means depth rating body, that the fish can be max to 50m ?
And how muc depth you can scan ?

This product seems to him very well and interesting for our purpose but in July we look for one scan which can retrieve a wreck on 100 m depth, is this side scan can do the job ?

I really do not know about the scandeep.
The waters around my island are max. 35 m deep.
Better ask the people at Starfishsonar.

I will be using in about 30 to 80 feet of water on a mostly sand bottom. Is this unit worth the money? From the looks of the pictures i think it is. I cant afford to spend 30k on a unit but i dont want to waste 5k on the starfish if the results wont be good
