But i could quit building brush piles, and just look for them instead. Toledo Bend is big and full of natural brushpiles.

I don't have pictures to post at this time. At the time I was using the HB 997 I did not have a SD card, and did not no how to do pictures at the time. I was just learning to use the unit. But I will take some pictures when they go on bed this spring. I will try to get some pictures of crappie on bed in the next 3 to 4 weeks if I can,as they move up into the shallows. There are photos on HB website you can look at also. And there is a Yahoo groups side imaging forum that you can become a member of and see allot of pictures.
But let me warn you if you go there an see what the HB units can do, get ready to spend the money, because you will want it even more.

Wasn't for the SI. It wouldn't be on my boat. I will just keep my Lowrance and Garmin for the time being. I know good equipment. I believe I am qualified to made this assessment.

By the way, owning something is not guaranteed knowledge of form, fit, or function. Ownership creates a false sense of expertise.

Sorry but I am not worshiping Humminbird not my religion!

Just saying what little I no about my unit thats all not claiming to be a expert.:rolleyes: With your expertise I would think you could add a $2.00 switch and cut and solder a wire or two to a PC cable and make your lap top the screen for your 797 so you could see it.LOL But thats all it could do is be used as a monitor. Or just go and spend the money for that 1197 you want so bad.

You need to remember you ant getting any younger and you can't take the money with you.:D Life is short!!!

I want one also but $2,000.00 for 997 was bad enough. $3,000.00 1197 will have to be a little later for me. Maybe next year? And I see your point about the switch.
