Went to our local Sportsmans show this weekend...............twice! The first night (Thursday) I bought a few lures and a new Vendetta casting rod, looking at the new Humminbird SI units and spotted a cool cutlery set that I thought we could use in the camper, but passed on the SI and the cutlery set. Sunday came and I did not have anything to do so I thought maybe the cutlery set would be on closeout price because it was the last day, so I decided to go again. Well, the cutlery set was marked down, so I bought it (six steak knives in a nice block, the knives have antique fishing lures as handles) what a great deal! Then I looked at the SI units again, oh boy! Ended up buying the 898, Navtronics, Ram Mount, and they threw in a Humminbird video so I can figure this thing out, $1499.00 for everything out the door including tax and shipping. Last time I go back to get a good deal on a cutlery set!

hahahaha - dude, you blew it up!!  Good job!

I just bought the 998 and ram mount with maps too - I too am now happily broke - and god I cannot wait to try it out soon - did alot of the mounting work yesterday, nearly done, but have not had a chance to get out on the water yet - dude its like getting a bicycle for christmas at 10 years old and not being allowed to ride it - ahhhh.

They didnt have the 898 in stock, so what did I do, spent more money  

And dude, I need a new set of knives, although the wife probably will not dig the fishing theme, hahahaha

Post pics of the set if you can, that would be cool!

So you want to see my $1539.00 set of knives!  LOL!
