A month or so ago I bought a Hummingbird 998 and know nothing about installing one. With that amount of dollars spent, I want it right. Got some suggestions on a good marina to have do it. Well, drove 50 miles to St. Bernard Parish in LA and dropped it off 3 weeks ago at TIM"S MARINE. Called yesterday to see how it was going and was told it would take at least another 2 weeks. He had too many BIG jobs to get to before me, and since he had never installed a side imaging unit he wouldn't guarantee it would work anyway. Needless to say I drove down and picked the boat up today. Back to square one. I live in Picayune, so I'm away from most of the action. I have a 2003 Nirto 270 LX with a Mercury 75. He told me he thought the boat was too small to put that kinda unit on. Help!!!! I wouldn't mind driving a ways to get this done. HHHHEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!!

Thanks for your trouble. I'll make some phone calls. Has anyone had any dealings with any of them. Heard some real horror stories about some of the dealers around Slidel.

Hunter, I don't know of anyone around that does them.. I did a search for someone more local to you and I found a Mike's. I don't know if you had bad dealings with them or if Picayune is real big and you may not have known about them, but here is the info I found on them. Might be worth a call and alot closer than traveling.

You can't fish with a hung line!
You might try Hooks Marine in Hammond. Not sure if they are still in business - it's been a few years since I had any dealings with them, but the owner, Paul Hooks, was once a fishing buddy and a good guy.
Tell him "Hi!" from Pete Cooper, Jr. - for whatever that's worth!
And good luck.

Thanks for the help.. Picayune isn't much more than a large pit stop on the interstate. I went in that dealership and was greeted by old owner who tried to sell me a used flat bottom for new retail. Think I'll pass. I think I might need to find some of those green carp boys. I've only been in MS for 3 months, transplanted from northern MO.
