One of my favorite features is that if you see a "spot" off to the side while scanning with the SI you can move your curser to it and mark it with the GPS, come back around and fish the "exact" spot you marked, and you were never physically over it.  Pretty cool.

My biggest gripe is my own impatience.  When I'm on the water I want to fish not cruise an area at 4mph to hunt for the spot on the spot........hmmmm maybe I just figured somethin out!!!

Good luck with whatever you end up getting.[/QUOTE]

I've got the 797 with the Navionics bundle built it. Awesome value for and extra $200. Reeds has them on sale now, I just picked up the 787nvb for my bow and will interlink them. I've got the high speed kit as mentioned above so high speed performance isn't an issue. I've used it here in Kentucky as well as Canada. Screen size is a little small but with the Side Imaging I typically run it to one side or the other as I'm scanning a bank, or hump or weedline, etc. so I get more coverage shown on the screen. If I'm headin' back a holler' then I'll scan both sides simultaneously. Oh, the nvb allows the card slot to be freed up. I've got a 2gig SD card in there to record screen shots or a SI scan like it's video.
