What seems to be the best place to buy a 1197, as far as price and service go? I am looking to buy one in the next month or so and have just started looking around. I have found them several hundred dollars cheaper on ebay than they are at BPS, but always a little leary when dealing on the internet.
Thanks

Hey Grits I sent you a private message
So far the cheapest I've found
Humminbird Fishfinders - J And H Products
My friend and I both bought a 797 from J & H this spring and they were good to deal with. Delivered when they said and no problems.
I have purchased several items from J & H and am very pleased with their service.Quote:

Don't know J&H, but do know Three Rivers Marine. Do yourself a favor and pick up the phone and ask how much they will sell one to you for. Often times, they'll quote a price under what is on the web since most all of the FF companies require they advertise only MAP pricing. Not sure how J&H is getting away with it, unless they are not a certified dealer......not that, that would mean they are shady or anything, just that they do not have that agreement with H'bird etc....

Not to hi-jack this thread but....has anyone looked at the 1197 in person. This thing is HUGE. It makes the 997 look like a pocket watch. It needs to have RCA inputs so I can watch DVD's while the fish aren't biting.

Three Rivers Marine has treated me well. And they have quite a following on another Bass site with lots of traffic. The great thing is one of two people will answer the phone when you call. And they own it and are extremly knowledgeable. And they will be one of the cheapest places on the net.
I have also purchased for Scuba Steves and they had good prices and good service.

When I bought 997 April/May of 07 found J&H cheapest by a few bucks - but only way to contact J& H was thru internet- Did not like this as I want to talk with folks I deal with sooooo I went with 3 Rivers for a few bucks more as they were very helpful on phone, have been in tugboat/barge marine work for a long time and on the advice of several friendly folks on this crappie.com site who already bought from Three rivers.
Friendly advice when buying products on internet-You best get as many reviews, facts etc. on who U are dealing with on the Web, as U do on product U are buying.
