I am in the process of upgrading my electronics. I am pinching those pennies for a 1198 si at the dash. I almost bought an 998 this week but I really want that 1198 so I held off. Is there a lot of difference in the 898, 998, 1198 as for clarity?
I do alot of crappie fishing but I also do a lot of bass fishing. My first question is would I need to get a Y cable and a 2nd transducer for high speed or should I just depend on my old Lowrance 135 in the dash for my high speed. Second question what would the ideal unit up front be? 898, 998, or SI or do I need to go with the new DI models: 858, 958, 1158. I would like to have at least a 7" screen, the old eyes are not what they used to be if you know what I mean. I do tight lines and trolling for crappie. Any help guys?
