Humminbird Sideview

[BlackWidow]

I'm looking to buy a new fishfinder/gps. I have been eyein' the humminbird
797 c2 si.. This side imaging looks like the ticket, but speaking of ticket it's right at a grand. Do any of you use this model?

here is the link.

Mike Simpson with Crappie Magic has one. Not sure of the exact model though. We got to look it over at the Ar Crappie Camp and it was really a cool unit. He gave us a little seminar on it and after I asked the price, I was wondering when he was putting on a seminar on dealing with the wife after you buy one of those units :D :D :D

Check out this link. Lots of pics from people that actually use the units.

There is another website with discussion board for the H'bird SI units. This board has specific section for each of the SI units plus a general discussion

I have one of the 797 units tha I'm just learning to use. The technology is really something. I'm finding a lot of structure that I did not know existed.

The website for Humminbird really leaves a lot to be desired. On both of the websites about SI units there are folks from Humminbird on that are very helpful.

Like 'bobberwatcher' stated the price is a difficult item. Can always tell the wifey that it was the same one you had last year LOL.

Send me a PM if I can be of any help.

I have the 997 and it is money well spent It will help you catch more fish after you take the time to learn it I also had the 987 you will not find any better units however they are a lil hard on the pocketbook
