    hey crip47,I was like everbody else I did not know if Iwanted to spend 2 grand on a sonnar unit ethier. So I did some serious reserch & found out they will do evrery thing it says that it will do.I have had mine for about 6 months. You will not beleive the detail the si shows,it does not matter if the water is muddy or clear.On the diffrence between the 797si & the 997si is the screen size you can see the screen on both units very well in bright sun light,the older 987 are the ones you can not see very well in bright sun light.Go to yahoo.com click on yahoo groups & then type in side imaging.there is a ton of info & pics. just on side imaging.

    Here’s what I’m talking about. In the picture is from a recording I made at slabfest in February. I was in 30ft. of water and you can see plenty of fish. You can also see my 1/6oz. jig go down to the bottom and back up. Also I had three jigs in the rod holders at 15 ft. witch you can see. If I had my unit set from 25 to 30 I’d be about to tell if they were male or female….Just kidding…What I’d like to know is can I get about the same definition from a hummingbird? I use my sonar to the max. If I’m in 15ft. or deeper I don’t put lines out until I see fish.
    I’ve been on yahoo for about six months and have a bps ten mins. from the house. I play will the 997 display all time. I’ve also talked to hummingbird three times.
    One good thing I found out is that hummingbird has software to convert you waypoints to their unit. That’s a good thing. I have over 1800 waypoints cauterized to the lake they are in. That will make for an easy transfer to a new unit.
    My lcx-20 has been acting up since May and has been sent back three times. The first two times they had a 10 day turnaround. Witch they did nothing. This time I got hold of someone that says it will be taken care of even if they have to send me a new unit. Their service has not been the same since Lawrence sold out about a year ago. I fish three days a week so it is really used and nine months is fishing deep.
    All I hear is how great the side imaging is and I believe it. But, no one ever mentions the sonar. I have an aqua-view that I like to look under docks with. I can spend all day looking and get home and my wife will ask wares the fish. OOPS. I’m not looking for another toy but a tool.
    Hay, thanks for your comments. Sonar is a question that does not seem to get addressed. I know there is going to be a new leaning curve.

    crap47 On the down part of sonar unit (shooting stright down)I think the definition is alot better on the humminbird,It seems to me it is alot cleaner.On mine there is hardly any surface culter & I can see the bottom better on my 997si than I could on my hi dollar lowrance.With side imaging you can look under the docks to.If you have ? about side imaging unit just email@ [email protected] i'll you my phone.I can explain it better person to person.
