jrsmith_80 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Im picking up my first fishing boat this weekend and need some suggestions. The boat is nothing fancy but it will allow me to get into places ive never been before. What would you suggest Thanks in advance Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted August 17, 2012 Super User Posted August 17, 2012 What kind of waters will you fish regularly? What size and type of boat? Quote
jrsmith_80 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 I fish mostly lakes in kansas with murky water. The boat is a 16ft jon boat with a 35 horse motor and a trolling motor up front Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted August 17, 2012 Super User Posted August 17, 2012 The "best" would be a pre-owned Humminbird 798 Side Imaging unit. You can find those in that price range. Quote

ClackerBuzz Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 didn't buy mine yet but doing the research now. just came across the best video i've seen explaining down imaging vs side imaging. i've seen posts saying s.i. is a no-brainer if you can afford the upgrade. maybe it will help with ur decision. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tdYT3i9ip8&list=FLGxyInFcUX6_t7ZmKLevUUQ&feature=mh_lolz 1 Quote
WIBassMan Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Congrats on your decision. I just picked up a 798ci HD SI and am anxious awaiting getting it out on the lake. Quote
