Depends which head unit you have. If you can't adjust cone angle (striker 4/5 not plus models)....it defaults to 24* cone angle and washes out a bit past 100ft but is definitely still usable. If you have a 5+ or larger model then you can adjust cone angle on the gt8 down to 16* and it's plenty usable well past 100ft.
I have the gt8 and a vivid 7sv head unit and have used mine to 150ft and can still pick up a small lure with good separation. I typically don't ice fish Lakers any deeper than 80-90ft (no reason to) so I've not purchased the gt10 ducer which is 9-16*
