Shawk Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I've been reading through the archives here and it looks like the 798 will be my first purchase for the bow of my boat. I'm typically fishing waters from about 3' - 15'. I love the idea of the side imaging. I have a 747c that came with my boat that will stay on the console. Any thoughts/advice? What else do I need to pick up with it when purchasing? Of course, I'm looking for the best price and best unit for the money otherwise I'd go larger... but I think this will fit my needs well. Others to consider for the same money? Do we have any sponsors here to buy from? Do I need to buy an additional transducer to work the side imaging? Any & all thoughts please... Thank you! Quote

Super User slonezp Posted August 28, 2011 Super User Posted August 28, 2011 FYI www.boatersworld.com has no tax and free shipping on purchases over $100. I didn't check if they have what you're looking for but I have made multiple purchases from them and never a problem. Quote
