Hi fellas looking for the best place to buy a hummingbird 598 cxi hd si combo or a helix 5 si gps any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks fellas also somewhere that might install them.

Or looking for a good used unit with side imaging.

Was in Gander Mountain today. They have the Helix SI for $449. That's $50 off normal price. I bought one a month ago and love it so far.

Thank u sir will check that out!

Still looking anyone else have suggestions?

try Shut up and Fish he has great prices

I know Hummingbirds are good units but I have fished with a lowrance for thirty years. I just have had great service from my units and tend to stick with what works for me.

if you're wanting a fish finder for catfishing then humminbird si is the only way to go as it'll give you a full 180 degree coverage and you need that in the shallows.. lots of fish move up into 2 to 3 ft depth waters to feed and it's the ideal depth to catch lots of fish so humminbird is a necessity where lowrance is lacking in that dept when those only get like 160 degree coverage.

Thats great info guys really appreciate the comments!

I have two humminbird 1100 series and a lowrance gen 3 the two hummingbirds are at humminbird for repairs and useless to me. my lowrance SI works way better anyways . My 2 cents I will never buy another humminbird product agin.

The digital oasis online. Best prices I've seen and I just bought an 899 thru them for $857. Cheapest I found

HB for shallow water whisker fish, IMO.

No issues at all with two HB 899's. And installation is simple. I wouldn't pay someone to do it. If needed, hummingbird.com has great and simple installation videos.

Both companies make great stuff. You can get a bad from either company but both are good. I have both on my boat.
