GPS/Sonar/Chart plotter Advice

[RedTaco]

Hi All,
Looking for some input/recommendations for a GPS/Sonar/Chartplotter for 2004 1801 CC which I recently went in on with a friend.
I'll/we'll be fishing the lower Delaware River, lower Schuylkill River, the Delaware Bay, Chesapeake Bay and the bays, estuaries, and coastal waters along New Jersey.

My question is for fishing these types of areas do I need chart plotting capabilities?
In the relatively shallow waters where we'll be fishing would side view scanning be more beneficial than down view scanning?
Ant other input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I think the chartotter has a lot of features and your needs will change, and more bang for your buck. Look around BOE, Defender, West Marine, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shop, etc for deals. I sign up online for flyers.
