    Planning on fishing Sandy Creek Park near my home for bluegills. I'm used to using my 75 HP motor to "power" up onto the trailer, but will not have this at Sandy Creek. I do have an bow mount trolling motor, but don't think that'll do much for trailering. I know this might be missing the...

    Rear deck fish finder?

    Has anybody put a fish finder on their rear deck so a partner can use it back there? Note I'm going to have a front deck and console fish finder, so this would be strictly for the rear deck fishing partner's use.

    798c SI or 898C SI as console companion for 898c DI at bow?

    For those who have both a Humminbird 798c SI HD and/or 898c SI at the console and are using an 898c SI at the bow, does the size difference and functionality of the 898 justify it's extra cost? I'm looking at around $700.00-$850.00 for the 798 and $1200.00-$1400.00 for the 898.
