    Looking at upgrading my Humminbird 597 unit to a faster, bigger screen.
    Thinking of 900 series but not sure which one.. Any thoughts?

    It depends in what you want. Si, DI, 2d sonar. Personally I would get the 999. It has it all. There is also a Hummimbird rebate now.

    check universalmania.com I ordered my hds from them and have always heard they have good customer service. I believe the price was about the cheapest I found at the time too.

    Digitaloasis was the cheapest place online when I bought my 998.

    I’d get one with an external GPS.

    I’m not sure if you can hook up an external GPS to an internal or not, but i do now know that you can ethernet hook an internal GPS unit to another unit that has the External GPS and your internal GPS unit can share the external GPS puck.

    Otherwise, the internal GPS is junk compared to the puck.

    I got my 999 from ExtremeNavigation for $1,200, then got the $200 rebate….now it looks like all the online retailers raised their prices due to the high amount of purchases…

    In exactly your shoes with a 597ci hd di. Now I have a 999ci hd si courtesy of universalmania.com. Still in the box and looking forward to getting it mounted and testing it out.

    The combination of larger screen, si, and rebates pushed me over the edge.

    I wasn’t a fan of Universalmania’s daily price games, plus alot of people who purchased from them are having issues getting their rebate…
