Has anyone got one of the new Helix units from Hummingbird? If so what unit and what is your review?
Don"t have one but do run two birds on the boat 899 on the consel and a 788 up front think the new units run the same si ducer as my 899 if it were me if you can afford it I would go with the eight inch screen cost a little more but you can do much more with it as far as split screens and mapping
I have the 998 but looking for something with GPS on the front. Just seen these and figured I would ask if anyone had used them. Thanks!
How do you like the 998 thought about going with that unit up front say the detail is much better than the 800 units
As long as u get the HD unit I love it. Wish I could afford to put one on the front of mine. Maybe one day.
Have to sell some leftover sweet n spicy trail mix on the corner.Quote:

Just in the BPS catalog. I am going to call them in concord and see when they will have some there.
Shane, have you looked in to those units any more. I've been looking at these too. I want two units as well, but hard sell to wife for that much $ at one time.
They are the new units that has come out if I didn't have a 597i would get me one still might get one for the front I've got a old gray scale up front but would like to have a colored one up there the one I'm lookin at has di on it and it's only $249Quote:

i have the helix 5 si on the rear for trolling i love it but if you can aford it there is no match to the bigger units on the console
So I looked at these units today t BPS. So glad I didn't order with out putting my eyes on these first. They are Small!!!! I am a Hummingbird guy all the way but I would go with another hummingbird and spend the money or go with the Lowrance units. It also just looks cheap and I see why the prices are what they are. Don't mean to offend anyone but I was disappointed when I saw them.
Ya'll Dont feed him. Then he always comes back. Just to eat only !Quote:
