    Re: New Electronics

    I've had the 798 SI for a few years now, and I couldn't be happier with it. Sure, I'd like to have the widescreen model, but the 798 suits me just fine for the price. The SI feature will really help you in my opinion, especially on water you aren't overly familiar with.

    Just my two cents

    Re: New Electronics

    Maybe a wise choice to go with Humingbird; I installed the Lowrance HDS-10 with structure scan on Friday afternoon and went out Friday night to test it out. Wow it is amazing what it shows and how clear it is, especially with the 10" screen. I put in at 7:30 and could not believe how cool it was, 9:30 rolled around and well, not so much it quit working. I knew I would have trouble but come on 2 hrs really??? I reset everything and still no go on the structure portion. Went out Saturday evening turned it on and cool it was working just a glich, well that lasted about 3 minutes of excitement down for the count again. The plus side is, I talked to Linda today and she had one in the UPS today, be here in two days no hassle no rudeness etc. that some complain about only good service, but when you pay $3,400.00 you expect it to work more than 2 hours.
    Good thing I kept my Raymarine C120 mounted also.
    Don’t want to start your thread in to what you didn’t want it to be just confirming you are making the right choice since you have not bought yet, regardless of size you get.
