well i stretched myself a bit and went for 898... my wife thanks you guys for the encouragement . I wish I had budget for the 998 now, but you got to stop somewhere.

Now time to install...Hoping to get good results with higer speed down sonar signals (not necessarily SI or DI) and good views with SI on both sides at 2-6mph, have a lund IPS hull and kicker.

Thanks for your input, good fishing, Jason
