soopd Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I am wanting to purchase a new unit. I already have a humminbird 798 that I am going to move to my trolling motor. I fish primarily Pickwick lake and I have 2 navionics cards and 1 lakemaster card. The lakemaster card for Pickwick is unreal. I want to purchase either the 998 at $1159 or the 999 for $1499. Is it worth the price difference to get the 999? I know processor is a little faster but what else makes the difference worth the more money? Thanks Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 You can get a 999 for closer to $1300 online and the 999 has a $200 mail in rebate if purchased before March 31st. 1 Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 Imho, I'd get the 998 or 1199 (I have both). At $1500 I'd save a few hundred more and get the 1199 If you don't want to do that the 998 is a great unit! Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 Both 998's are obsolete and are on close out sale. The 999 is the current model and will have a longer updateable lifetime. Quote

I just did the same thing the OP is going to do. I put my 798 on the front deck and I put my 999 on the console. BTW I also took advantage of the internet prices and the rebate. Quote
