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!

    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.
