Which fishfinder would you buy for less than 1000.00

[WLG]

Just want to know you guys opinion. Im looking to upgrade to A side imaging and down imaging sonar and i dont want to spend more than 1000. What would be the best bang for the buck . I want GPS and color too. Does not have to be a huge screen. Thanks in advance for your input!!!

I have a humminbird and I love it. I'm not sure if you can get one for $1000.

honestly wade I would go with the humminbird. I would probably look for a used 898 that could be bought in that price range. The screen on the 798 is a little tough to use on the the side imaging if you are in deep water. Just not as easy to use with that small screen as I thought it would be. you are welcome to ride with me sometime soon if you want to check out the 798
