Super User Wayne P. Posted March 20, 2016 Super User Posted March 20, 2016 What sonar technology?????? What is your budget??????? Quote
kens Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 $1000 budget. I want at least 9inch or bigger screen . Witch is better sonar or radar. Like I said I never fish rivers only lakes. I would like to have one with maps technology. Quote
Pete-K Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Look at the new Helix 9 SI its $9999.99 I just bought it big brother, the Helix 10 SI. And mounting it today, Have been using Humminbird units for 30 years. Bought one of the Side Finder units 10 years ago. And will tell you it will open up an all new world for your fishing. Plus the Helix unit 9 and up units allow you to make your own Contour maps. Heres what it allows you to find. Nice when you find a bait ball, but better when you can see the fish feeding on the bait. Or find an old road bed, that also has bass on the beds by it also. Also not sure what you would want Radar for? But the Helix units can support Radar. That way you can watch that storm heading your way. Quote
kens Posted March 28, 2016 Author Posted March 28, 2016 What is the difference between 9 si or the 9 di. What is si and di? Quote
Bassman37 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Si is side imaging and Di is down imaging. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted March 28, 2016 Super User Posted March 28, 2016 This is Side Imaging: This is Down Imaging: This is regular 2D sonar: This is 360 imaging: The Humminbird Helix 9 SI GPS will do all of those, if you get the 360 accessory added. Quote
fishman393 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I just got the 999ci hd si kid model from humminbird factory outlet online for 799. And come with the hd transducer. It is a refurbished model but for the price I could not pass it up. Quote
kens Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 I think I will go with the Hummingbird 9 SI. Good ole Bass Pro. Can I see some pics of how you have your finder mounted on your boat? Quote
