I chickened out and I'm about to order (1) 787c2i. Just couldn't see taking advantage of her like that and getting a big 1197 or HDS 10 or something and it seems plain silly to get 2 5" jobs when I've already gor 4 mounted to the boat.
But if it makes you feel any better, I'm also ordering a MK 80# AP/US2 to make up for my timidity on the FF.
Bwahahahahaha

Still won't catch any fish.
You know you're not going to happy with that 5" screen, should have went with the 997 998.
Now if you can get them to Drop, you'll be a real man. :D
You shoulda ordered the 80# MK Fortrex. Like it lots better than the Auto Pilot/US2 :)
Already got a Maxxum 70# Novice.
Now that I've dropped the big bucks, I expect a complete apology from every last one of you knuckle headed gewbers. Now, form an orderly line and no shoving.

This thread is absolutely worthless without pics.:)
you SHOULD have got you a 997 SI bud. All that crap you gave me about wanting to get a little bitty 5 inch screen a month or 2 ago. NOOO, Don't get that one, you'll hate the 5 inch screen, get you a BIG SCREEN. Yo turn now so get YOU a big 10 inch screen bud. YOU'LL like it more. hehe personally I'm GETTING the 10 incher as soon as somone buys my gen 3's that I put up for sale that is. hehe
Just what I said. I have the 5" screen and wish I had gone ahead and got the bigger 997.Quote:

5" is plenty for me in 2D for the bow and at the console. I still stand by what I said on the side imaging. You really need the big screen to take advantage of what's being shown to you.
The one I'm getting is a combo 2D and GPS.
BTW, I'm gonna take my Garmin GPS Map 178 off the front - black and white GPS/FF combo iffin somebody's interested. Once the GPS software update for my 797 comes out, I'll prolly be loosing the GPSMap 531 at the console as well - color, GPS only. Ya'll start saving up now.

Most people learned to catch fish without electronics and then maybe got a little better with electronics....I'm just sayin.:rolleyes:
I got the hd7 and am glad, nice big picture, like don don I have a hd5 on the front and at time it can get hard to see, but wannabe I think maby you will do just fine I hear your kinda an eagle eye on this fish finding and wont have any trouble with the small screen, couple guys at crappie camp mentioned your use to looking at small so best of luck to you and If I can ever be any help let me know,
You made the right decision with the US2. I assume the MK 80# is the Terrova and not the PD2. That's the exact set up I currently have and has worked out very well. Are you planning on using a quick mount and keeping your current troller and swapping them out depending on what type of fishing you will be doing?Quote:

I think you will be surprised how well the co-pilot/i-pilot can maneuver in the trees and stick ups IF you keep your boat in control and don't have to stomp the foot pedal to change direction in a panic.
Well I guess he grew half a set. can't give him credit for a full set yet....lol
