    Default Which would you choose?


    Would you rather have a used 798ci combo for $675 or a new 598ci for $690? Or should I just save my money for a 898?

    Thoughts?

    898 or bigger detail will be better with a bigger screen.

    For the same money you could get the new Elite 7 Lowrance with 2d,DI and GPS. Full 7in screen.

    The 598 and the 798 are the same unit except for...:

    *The 798 has 3 preset view buttons...
    *2 card slots...(the 598 has 1 card slot)...
    *Ethernet compatible (if its the 798ci HD SI Combo)..

    Thanks for the opinions guys. I guess I'm just trying to convince myself that the 598/798 size will be good enough. All the research I've done points to getting the bigger screen. But, funds aren't unlimited and I just bought a kicker and a Terrova troller. So, to keep the wife from killing me, it might be 598/798 or nothing.

    I've considered this as well, but I really want to try SI.

    If SI is definitely on your list, then a 800 or 900 series unit. The bigger screen and enhanced Hz worth the extra $$.

    Alright, so I sold a few unneeded hunting items and talked the wife into a SI finder. Now, my dilemma. Am I better off getting a HD 898 or a non-HD 998. Either one is at the top of my budget, so an HD 998 just too much. So, 7" with LED screen, or go with the 8" without LED?

    Decisions, decisions.
