Reply With QuoteThis is the reason for the post. Where would I put the transducers. So which unit would be best with transducer locations on my tri hull.

Which one
BBG Marine Electronics
For $669. Or
BBG Marine Electronics
For $899.
I have an 71 ouachita tri hull stick steer without trim or jack plate. I would only use si to scan at slow speeds so trolling motor down while idling would be fine. I have been with a hummer guy and low guy and their units are the best. I want si to find structure and have great di to see it and fish better. Way points and routes would be wanted as well. So which way should I lean?

The side scan on a 5" screen is going to be hard to read. For $210 more I'd go with this BBG Marine Electronics. If you are limited to the two options you posted then I'd go with the HDS-5.

I would call Brian and get a price on a 899 humminbird before buying either of those units. Or look for a used unit if you are stuck on a budget. SI is harder to see on a 5 inch screen. You within 100 at retail of the 899 and Brian gives members a discount.

I also noticed he had the 998 for less than 1200 this is an awesome value.

Justin is correct, si is best on the bigger screens.hold out a little longer and save the extra bucks and get a bigger unit.i think you'd be happier in the long runOriginally Posted by justinp61

Okay. Made my decision for 899. My concern was the transducers. But Brian set me straight on what application I was looking for. I know for sure that this is a huge upgrade on what I do have!
Thank you all.
