    Those of you that have used the 1197 and the 997 si units, what are your thoughts when compairing the 2 side by side?

    I have the 1157 on the bow and a 997 on the console, I know on 2d the 1157 has better target seperation.

    I’m a die-hard 1197 all the way. The big screen gives me a huge viewing area from anywhere in my boat. Screen definition is absolutely awesome and clear. With my puck transducer epoxied in the hull, I can follow a 1-3/4 Fin-S on a 1/16 jig verticle beneath the boat to over 30 feet down in 45 fow crappie fishing. I’m sure the 997 has the same ability, but you need to put your nose to the screen compared to the 1197

    Had I put more thought into it, I should have get the 1197 for the bow and put the SI ducer on the motor, but I had the US2 and figured I would go with the 1157, which is a awsome unit but SI is , for me the US2 has been a disipointment

    Anyone want to but a 1157?
