I want to add a fish finder and could use recommendations. I was thinking the Lowrance eagle eye 9 with live sonar or the Garmin striker sv9 but all recommendations are welcome.
Not sure if trolling motor or transom transducer mount would be better. Budget $1000
I have a 16ft aluminum boat. Basic trolling motor on front. 25hp tiller on back. I motor around from the rear and fish from the front. Large mouth mostly but want to get into crappie fishing too

I have both on my boat, the Eagle 9 is amazing for the value. I actually just used it today to catch a couple 4 pounders because they were deep down today. I use it more than the Garmin.
I have the eagle eye and the echomap 93sv. I would go with an echomap if it is your only depth finder. You can buy live for it later if that is what you are wanting.
Learning and using side view is awesome to help you find structure. Eagle eye has only down scan and live. Once I used side view and was able to find structure, I was able to properly utilize live.
