OK..... since HB is dragging their feet on this.  Who wants to make a TowFish for us...
I just dont have the time to spend experimenting.  Who has a unit that is ready to build and works fine..
75 feet of cable will do.... 
You may contact me off forum at NCURT100@gmail.com

Great...look forward to the pics.....Could have used a fish today.  65 to 80 feet deep.  This is beyound SI at the surface.  However it worked well to 40/50 feet.  Just need to get deeper with the HDSI..
