Gilly Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I've decided on buying a new finder/gps. My boat came with an X-135 Lowrance and it failed the second time out. Sent it in last fall to get fixed, just got it back in mid-Feb. Price wise, any suggestions as to where to get the best price? Going with Humminbird. (note: asked the same question about TV brackets, cables, etc. awhile back and monoprice.com was suggested. They have excellent service and crazy prices. FYI.) www.drydock516.com

Hell of a run on Humminbird right now so the inventory everywhere is running low. Hopefully he can get my stuff before our trip in April. www.drydock516.com
bigredbirdfan Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 which humminbird are you going with? where will you mount it?
Gilly Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 which humminbird are you going with? where will you mount it? I'd like the 898 but they're sold out. He made me a heck of an offer on a 998. However, these units are big and I'm mounting it on the dash, kinda worried about the fit. www.drydock516.com

For sure wouldn't fit on my dash although I could mount it on either end of the boat and see it from the opposite end! Too bad we couldn't figure out some way to get Direct TV tuned into these things so we can fish and watch football at the same time. www.drydock516.com
