good replies... russell, you putting it on the bow or the stern of that alumacraft? Id go with 898 or 998 if on the stern, and the navionics chip, SI DI & contour maps would have you covered, If you want it for the bow (and saying this cause its what I have had my eye on) id go with 596c HD DI. seems perfect for spideriggin'...sittin on top of structure, check it out dude... O and dont toss that lowrance in the garage... Ill be willing to part ways with some dough to give it a good home:D:D

I rarely ever use 3D down. What got you hooked on 3D?

nothing. I am going to buy a bigger depth finder for the drivers seat, one with SD card/Navioncs compatible. I'll move my other GPS 2d sonar to the TM. I figured if I'm gonna spend 600, I may as well get the 3d. I wish the hds-5 was SI compatible... I could build my system a little at a time.
