Looking to upgrade the depth finder on the bow of my boat. I have a Hummingbird 997 on the console which I am ok with. I am looking for something with DI and GPS and a good size screen. I love spider rigging and vertical fishing. I would appreciate any suggestions and help you can give me.
Thanks
Kevin
Oh, so many variables....does 997 have ethernet? If yes, I would get a humminbird that also has ethernet and connect the two. That way all your waypoints will go from one to the other. Depends on your budget too. If I had the cash, I would buy the best there is.
Kevin,
What is a “good size screen” to you?
Humminbird makes DI model units in 5, 7, 8 and 10 inch display sizes. The 958c HD DI Combo model would be the same sized display as your 997 unit.
[The 997c Si units do not have Ethernet capability]

My 1198 will be up for sale in 30 days it has about 150 hrs on it, I also have dual gps pucks and transducers. I also have 2 lake master cards one has Illinois and the other has has Indiana and Kentucky. I think they are 4.0, I'm at work now I will check when I get home. I also have the I pilot link that will be for sale. All bought from Brian at BBG Marine this spring.
Short grub, I might be interested in you 1198 if price is right.
Thanks for your replies and yes I want to stay at least the same screen size as the 997. I want something with a good HD DI and GPS no need for side scan since I plan on mounting the transducer on the TM.
Thanks again
Kevin
