898c & 597ci

I am going to purchase two new FF next month. I am already set on the 898c for the console but wanted some opinions on the Bow FF. I am thinking of either a 597ci or a 788ci with transducer mounted on trolling motor. I want it to be compatible to interlink to the 898. What are your opinions?? I also have a couple questions: Does the 597ci have card slots the specs I saw didn't mention them and can the 597 be interlinked to the 898? All opinions about the 597/788 would be appreciated.. THANKS

Buy the 898 first. Use it. Then see if you want side imagine up front too. You will. Then buy a 798 for the front.

You'll thank me later.

Good point Dayton!

The 597ci does have a card slot.
No the 500 series units (including the 597ci) cannot be used with the InterLink.

i have the 597ci and like it but i would by the 788 if i was going to buy another one.
