zildjian Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Does anyone know the exact date when the 2013 898 SI unit becomes available? I heared December but not sure what day. Thank you guys if you have any information! -Zildjian Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted October 8, 2012 Super User Posted October 8, 2012 I have heard the new hd version will be available in November. Jeff Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted October 8, 2012 Super User Posted October 8, 2012 They never relate a specific day. The month is just an estimate that was announced during ICAST. Contact a dealer like Three Rivers Marine Electronics or BBG Marine Electronics to see what they anticipate delivery to be. Quote
zildjian Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 Are the current 1100 series LED? While the 800 and 900 are going to be soon? Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted November 6, 2012 Super User Posted November 6, 2012 The 1198c SI, 1158c, and 1158c DI have the LED backlighting. Same for the 798ci HD SI, 798c SI, 798ci SI, 788c, 788ci, 788ci HD, and 788ci HD DI. The 800 and 900 series are the ones getting the LED backlighting for the 2013 year model. It is LED BACKLIGHTING, not a LED display. The display is still LCD. Quote
zildjian Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 Ohhh yeah you're right. Thank you for clearing that up for me. Quote
zildjian Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Is it safe to say the new 800 and 900 series units with LED Backlighting are now available? I just seen them advertised in the new Bass Pro Catalog. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 5, 2012 Super User Posted December 5, 2012 No it isn't "safe to say" --being in the catalog means nothing. You can order them and get put on backorder if they are not in stock. BUT if you want a lower price, BPS is NOT the place to make a purchase. Contact the before mentioned "marine electronics dealers" Quote
Super User slonezp Posted December 5, 2012 Super User Posted December 5, 2012 Was at Cabelas over the weekend. They are still getting rid of the 2012's They're discounted $200 or $300 off list Quote

Super User slonezp Posted December 6, 2012 Super User Posted December 6, 2012 Marine electronics dealers have that much off as their normal prices. They don't sell MSRP like Cabelas does. I understand that. Found some back in Nov. for $500-$600 below list. Just passing it on to the OP. I checked out the Lowrance Touch while I was there. Relatively easy for an idiot like me to figure out. Quote

It's good to hear your on the road to recovery, they say when you admit your problem your half way there... Quote
