Advice on fish finder for Florida lakes

I found 2 used 798's and don't use the SI much up front but there are times that it's great to have. I will be getting a bigger screen for the console. I turn the console unit around and fish facing backwards using the fob to control when trolling and the detail is too small for my aging eyes. A DI unit on the front and a 998 on the console would do me just fine, though I know the impact on the budget would be tough.

Stu Does that unit have SI and DI and GPS in one unit?

The value Im feeling, makes any wallet discomfort almost an after thought. Happy happy happy indeed!

Yes. I picked up the SI / DI / GPS combo. They offer I believe four models, of which the SI unit being on the top end at $499.00. I'm so impressed if it wasn't for the fact of already owning an 800 I would have bought another one for the front of the boat. Great little unit for the price.
