Fair play to them they have used their tech and opened up a new revenue stream . Not sure why lowrance and hummingbird haven't done something similar. The images that the hummingbird fish finders are ridiculous.
Are the tolsons the next best after the raymarines? Do any other fish finders on the market for bait boats have downscan? Can't seem to find any that specifically say they do or do they all call it something different ?

I've touched on this before over the years, as you mention a lot of the modules are too big for bait boats. I've seen towable versions made for just that reason, iirc Carplounge did one for professional lake mapping a while back. I know it's nice and tidy having it all in the boat but if the boat has autopilot and can act on GPS the fish finder element doesn't need to be integrated.
I was looking into it from a pov of being able to transfer the Sonar from bait boat to rowing boat, rather than needing 2 of everything, or having to take a bait boat when you don't need it.

Did you find anything that you could use in that way? Thought the only towable ones for bait boats were the deepers and the like

No, I never took it any further.
