For that kinda money why not try to get one of the 998csi combos from BBG marine for $1300.... They r supposed to have some more mid January on close out?
Well whatever you do CP once you get that high dollar gadget working.
I wand don my scuba gear and swim under your scencor and see how good that DI is!!!! Lol
Now I'd like to see that!
I would have to think BRM will have a response.

I don't figure that outlet is a part of h'bird but I might be wrong
That's what I did, but I already had the interlink so I wanted cheap more than HD. Can't wait to get it hooked up. Brian at BBG is a good dude too.Quote:

Also i just cant see paying 300- 500 dollars more for just a little bigger screen when both do the same thing. All your paying for is just a lil bigger screen which dont look like allot when you put the units side by side. I am looking for the HD model in a 988 or 898.Quote:

From what I have read the HD is just a marketing tool. Only difference in the new 998 HD and last years close outs are the new ones are backlit so you can see them easier in the sunlight. If bbg marine gets some of the close outs this month the 998 is hard to beat for $1300.

HD units are Ethernet capable. You don't need interlink.
Actually i believe the main and only difference in HD units and now HD units is Ethernet capability. Other than that they are basically the same. Think this applies to the 998's also.

Dennis, don't worry about taking me fishing on Conway, my wife just had a stroke and is almost blind and I can't leave her for long. Sorry we never could get together. I had to freeze your steaks so now I can have a feast. Hope you and family have a Happy New Year. Know you will continue to catch a lot of slabs on Conway. Sincerely, Woodpecker
I really need a new finder on the front of my boat but I can't turn loose of the money. I don't care as much about the side imaging ones but that down imaging is nearly a must. They make a model, not sure the number but its a hummer that was on sale for just under $500 that's the HD, DI, Combo version, buddy got one and I like it. I've got a lowrance on the front that the crystal is going out, 25 fow looks like 5 fow so you don't know if it's 15, 25, or 35 and that sucks! If I was going to get one it would be the Hummers.
side imaging is a big step up from down imaging
Side imaging is a game changer. You can cover a wide swath of water, even in shallow water vs down imaging. The speed in which you can find where to fish on lakes you have never fished is amazing. I like going to new lakes to fish and enjoy the challenge of finding the fish and figuring out how to catch them. Side imaging makes the task alot faster.
Buy what u can afford or save up. Dow imaging is very nice but u must be right over structure to see it. The sonar will show a blob as the cone on it is bigger. Side imaging you can scan 3 x the water depth generally. So if in 10 ft water thats 30 ft to right and 40 to left. Way more effective. Not gonna push any brand but i have ha the hummer di and no comparison tot lowrance. I am not a sponsor or prostaff just a believer lol. I have no bone in what ya buy just hope i gave you a little more insight.
