New Humminbird Si And Di Pictures

[lakeOmojo]

Which model humminbird SI did the screen shots come from?

Can the 787 or 788 be just as effective as the larger screens?

Do you have hot maps and is it worth the extra $'s?

I haven't found very many reviews on these SI's, just like to hear from an owners perspective. Obviously you like it but, that 1197 $2999 compared to 788 at $850 is a pretty significant difference.

Thanks

Just ordered a new boat. The 898si was the compromise I made for myself for the rear sonar. The way I figure it, someone owes me a piece of their commission.

Steve, those shot were taking with the 1197 model.. But the 798 models have an even better screens, yes smaller screens but much better screen resolution on that smaller screen, seen a lot of unreal pictures from those units. Please stop by www.yahoo.com/groups/sideimaging and join.. Ton's of great reviews on shots for those models.. Personally after seeing some of the pictures from the 798C SI I would and probably will mount one on the console of my new boat, Keep the Bigger 1197 on the nose..

As far as maps go, I run the Hotmaps Premium chip. It is an add on was the same price as the NVB models from Humminbird about 100.00. I just liked these maps better more details for the lakes I wanted, instead of what they pre-loaded, good mapping just more than what I wanted.

Also you keep talking about the 788 model.. Understand the 788 model is only 2-D 200/83 Mhz Dual Mode with GPS.. No Side Imaging at all. Great Unit for vertical fishing and very good GPS, just no side imaging need to go up to the next level 798c SI model.

Good Fishing

RPS, let me know when you get that cut of the commission and who you get it from.. Would Like to apply myself.. Best for me was a Hat...

Enjoy your new boat and unit.. Any questions just ask...

You are correct, I meant 797c and 798c. I'm planning on buying one in the next few weeks. I think it'll work well for finding brush piles under docks here at the lake.

Thanks for the comeback
