[QUOTE="JonnyScott, post: 295759, member: 10600"] Ok I know that there is a thousand of these threads out here, but I'm in need of some help!! I am up in the air between the two. My options are the HB 898 with side imaging (of course) or the HDS 8 with Structure Scan. Here is my problem, I am running a 1540 Lowe Sprite with a 9.9 motor, when the motor is trimed all the way down I have 6-7 inches between the transom and the lower unit, is that enough clearence for the SI or SS transducer. I would like to hear arguments for both models. Is there a difference is operating speed in either unit? I have read that HB is 3-6 MPH How about the GPS which is better? Now don't hear me wrong I have done my research on tinboat.net and other forums, but I would like to see a debate on both models from the guys that actually OWN them! [/QUOTE]
