Just got off the phone with 3 Rivers marine ordering my 997 along with a 1 1/2 inch Ram mount for the 520 and the 2 1/4 inch ram mount for the 997!!!!!!!! Not bad at all. the 2 1/4 inch ram mount is still on sale at 56.99, that's about 30 bucks cheaper than Cabelas!!!!! Talk about stoked, wahooooo
Glad you got your stuff ordered so I can see how it works. I've about pulled out all my white hair trying to figure this stuff out. Why did you pick HB and tritonman got Low? :confused: Those questions are driving me crazy.:eek:
HB's site doesn't show a 520, what is it?
Don did you check J&H? They are generally much cheaper than 3 rivers.
I can't wait to see the difference in how many fish you put in the boat. :D
520 has been discontinued Maj. As for lowrance vs H'bird....well it comes down to personal preference divided by price x marital status. H'bird has great customer service and as of right now, questionable GPS function on the big SI units. Supposed fix is on the way, and might be out right now, but the jury is still out in my mind. Lowrance has great GPS and 2D, but to get structure scan and SI, it's a good bit more expensive. Then again, their customer service is probably the worst of any company in history and their units have a propensity to get water intrustion due to bad batches of seals - supposedly currently addressed.
Ya pays your money, ya takes your chances.
Who answered these types of questions while I was gone BTW?
Wannabe...
I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING WANNABE POSTED. I did look around about anywhere but at 1,499 for the 997 plus 2 RAM mounts, the total wasn't but $1,629.39, that included S & H as well so that's darn hard to beat. Heck, I saved 30 bucks just on the big Ram mount alone. BTW Wannabe, we had a team effort on answering these questions in your leave. Worked purty good to
satdoc did a great job of answering the questions untill he had his heart attack.....then the others chimed in...all the bases were covered. It was really pretty nice! :D
so far the water in the unit issue seems to be resolved. I have not had problems with that. And Maj one of the main reasons I went with lowrance was installation, I was able to use some of the 522 stuff and not have to wire up everything
I am glad your check came in and you are now officially getting in the SI world. CONGRATS BUD!
one day and see the differences
Ya'll do that on a Sun that I'm off so I can go PLEASEEEEEEEEEE.Quote:

Great news I'm glad you have one on the way so maybe NOW we can get the answer we have all been wondering is the Humminbird 997 Si so simple that even a DonDon can use it ?????:eek::D
That hurts man, I mean to the bone. Then again, I'd rather make you guys THINK I'm not as smart as I really am so you'll do things for me so I don't hafta hehe

Oh I read 'em Sat. I was fact checking them just to make sure you didn't lead anyone astray. I'll have to admit, you did a pretty fair job too. Keep this pace up and soon you'll be able to reset the clock on your VCR in a month or two.
"The bank took the money orders and gave me a reciet so PLSSSSSTTTTT" We give receipts for Nigerian lottery deposits too. Makes it much easier to go back and trace the transaction to reverse the deposit when they come back as fakes. LOL.

T-man, we both know that you didn't make it to E-9 by playing dumb.;)Quote:
