I am looking at the Humminbird 987C SI. It is the side scan sonar and GPS combo. It looks impressive, but everyone knows how that can be...Any experience with this model or side scan sonar in general?? Yea or nay??

dont know a thing about them, except I had bad experiences with HB in the past,Did you see the ad in Sportfish mag. ? pretty impressive[actual image] what I want to know is how does a sonar system show a shadow cast on the bottom? I am sceptical at best . would be nice if images were really that defined.

i have heard some decent reports on the matrix but havnt personally looked or played with one- i think that they get more of an audiance on the freshwater side-
