Reply With QuoteI have a non HD 998 and a 798 HD, I really like the led backlit screen. If I was buying new I would get the 898 HD and remove the readouts on the full SI screen.

I'd go with the bigger screen. Been a bunch of those units sold and used over the years and never seen a big hue and cry over the backlite.

I have a new HD 898 and a 597 and there is a big diff. in brightness of the screens. When you turn SI readouts off you basically have a 998. I bought mine from brian at bbg and he is great to deal with. Hope this helps...Clear as mud right....haha

You are gonna be a happy puppy when your new toy arrives. I put one on my boat and liked it so much I bought a second one and networked them. You are starting this fishing season off with a bang!Originally Posted by hunt1up
