Hey all...I'm looking to purchase the Humminbird 797 with navionics bundle. It has the ever-so-sweet looking side imaging on it. Look up GPS/PLOTTER 797cx SI HUMMINBIRD on youtube. I realize this is a sponsored commercial by humminbird but just wanted to show you the image on it if you havent seen it. Before I fork over the $1,100 for it I wanted your opinions. Has anyone used this? Would anyone recommend something else for the money? Thanks -Grouch

I've had one for six months now and I love it. I don't know what I'd do without it.

JG, go to the Yahoo website and join the Side Imaging group to learn from those that use that technology and get assistance if you need it.

Best thing around. Absolutley love it. I realized how special it was when we passed a bouy being held down by an engine block and you could make out the 4 cylanders in the block. I don't think there is anything else out there than compares.

OK, Im sold on it. Thanks for the help. After that last post about the detail of the engine block is what did it. Thats awsome.

Wayne, thanks for the info on the yahoo group. The pictures are incredible. I ended up purchasing mine with the NV Bundle because of this group. You rock!

By the way...in case anyone else is looking to purchase this, Cabela's has them on sale. I just put my order in. The 797 c2i w/ standard unimap it is $100 off and if you want the one with the upgraded Navionics bundle it is $150 off regular price.
