Not sure about any trademark conflicts here, but it does look interesting. A bit on the pricey side, tho'.

Phil,
That looks like a great transducer! I would pay that price if I were below the waves. These days it's Quad Copters at the hundreds of feet.

As for the name, it seem everyone calls their transducer a "PING" . Ken could use that device on his Lake Tahoe craft.

Looks promising. I'm planning to make an autonomous system for the boat that could help avoid obstacles. I wonder where I can get a software which can enable Arduino to get signals from this Ping Sonar Altimeter.
