Yeah I've known about it for a little while but like Cane Pole said, I couldn't say anything without losing my head. That wouldn't have been as bad as what my wife would have chopped off when I got back home though!

Yes we are out to make some money but what company isn't? Without profit, there would be no money for R&D. Without R&D there would be no new sonar or GPS technology. I'm guessing that the larger display was sought after mainly by the saltwater guys as they have the room and money for it.

J White, we are working on that 3D Holographic Whole Lake Scanning Sonar system for you... where can we send the $10,000,000 bill for it! LOL!

On a side note:
My wife's Nephew (who fishes Crappie Tourny's) will be pissed at me again: Last year he bought a 987c Si unit at the end of Summer - right before the 997 was announced. This year we installed a 997c Si and a 797c Si unit on his boat about one month ago... :rolleyes:
