gonna pull the trigger on 899
I've been doing a lot of looking at si fish finders and think that the humminbird 899 best fits my needs. Does anyone have any leads on where i can get the best deal. I very much prefer to purchase from a forum sponser but really need a good deal as i am already stretching my budget on a new unit. Thinking im gonna buy in the next 48 but also question if prices may drop as onix units become available

If you choose the 899 ... I would highly recommend taking advantage of HB's xducer exchange program to upgrade the stock XNT 9 SI T to the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T ...
The XHS 9 HDSI 180 T will give added functionality to the 899 by allowing the unit to also utilize the 800kHz SI frequency ...
The xducer must be unused still in the package for HB to exchange ...
Call HB as soon as you get the unit to set up the upgrade exchange ...

The 859ci HD Combo comes with the XNT 9 20 T (no upgrade xducer available)...
The 859ci HD DI Combo comes with the XNT 9 DI T (200kHz/455kHz 2d - 455kHz/800kHz DI)...
It can be traded in for the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T (200kHz/83kHz 2d - 455kHz/800kHz DI) ...
The xducer must be unused and in the package to be eligible for the exchange program ...

Does anyone have thoughts or opinions on garmin units looking at 70s with sidevu add on or waiting for the 73s to come out later this month.

If you ever need warranty work done you will be glad you chose Humminbird.......Second to none.
