Thread: 998 or hds 8

I am buying one of the two I would like for y'all to give me pros and cons of both. Having alot of trouble deciding but think I like 998 best

Before this debate begins for the umpteenth time, my opinion is that they are both quality units. I personally have a HB 898 and really like it. The HDS units are nice as well I'm sure. The only thing that made me choose HB was the HDS requires you purchase a SSD unit. Therefore the total cost is higher. Now let the debate begin!!!

I liked both but having to buy the LSS1 unit and having to find a place to mount that as well I went with the HB!!I think you'll be happy with either!!

you get what you pay for

Both are great. Just see which one you can get for less and go with it. Save the extra money for tackle.

thats what i did and then i switched because of the way i fish,do ur research and do searchs on both.u might even find someone on hear that will take u on the water with each unit.both are good ,but get one that suits ur fishing needs,instead of buy on price only

ran a test on both 997 and hds there is a differance

Each brand has it's advantages and disadvantages. A lot depends on where the unit will be positioned on the boat, how many accessories you plan on adding to your boat...etc.

If I can help you, please give me a call.

If you like the 898 best then buy it! You get what you pay for! I've got 2 HDS 10s and love them! Z21.

I've got a 998 and like it fine.
