Hello,
I am doing research on depthfinder/fishfinders for my new boat that i plan on buying after the first of the year. This will be my first boat and I intend on keping it for several years to come. What I want to do is rig it out with the best equipment I can afford right off the bat. I was looking at the Hummingbird 898c SI combo. I really like the ideal of haveing the GPS built in with the unit and the Ideal of side scan sonar is awsome!
What I would like to know is do any of you all have the Side scaneing feature on your boats and how well does it work. I know it will probely not work at speeds over 7 mph - 10 mph.
I dont mind trolling along the lake looking for good places to fish.
I would like to hear your experiances with it and how helpfull it is to you in finding fish and structer and things like brush piles and other underwater objects.
Thanks
