I don't need another fish finder, but I'm kind of interested in this. When was the last time you used this unit? Where are you located?

[markm]

I used it a month ago, moved to FL went with Garmin electonics, I bought it new for 1200

They are great units. I run a 959 and an 1198c SI. I was thinking about replacing my 959 because it doesn't have DI or SI. I haven't priced a transducer yet.

Yea Sir I have been very pleased with the performance. I would give you the old thru hull I had but the wire was cut on accident during the removal and I dont know where it ended up

No worries, I only use transom mounts anyway.

 

I did a quick Google search for a new transducer and it came up at $186 from several sources.

[markm]

Not bad I can work on the price with you if your interested!

Would you be shipping it from Florida? I wouldn't trust getting a used transducer from anyone other than you or the "seller"., so new is my only option.

Also, do you have the knobs for the gimbal bracket? I don't see them in the picture.

Does it have a map chip in it?

I'm waiting to get a price on a new trailer for my 1974 16ft boat. That will determine if I have enough money for your 998.

[markm]

Sounds good, your first in line

I called him at 10am and 4pm and he wasnt in the office all day. It's a family owned and operated marina with very few paid employees, so the owner gets his hands dirty too. I still don't know the cost of a new trailer.

 

If someone has the money before I do, go ahead and sell it to them. These are still great units and it will serve someone well.

Thanks! I love the 1198c SI that I have on my Lake Ontario boat. It replaced my 959.

 

And yes, I'm still interested.

I got the trailer quote today... $1,725 plus tax for a 16ft aluminum trailer. Not much less for a galvanized or painted trailer.

 

I am forced to pass on the 998 and save up for a trailer. With Lake O being flooded again, my 16ft boat will be my primary boat on the smaller lakes this year, and unfortunately it needs a trailer.

[markm]

No worries! Thank you for the interest!

Thanks, you as well. What are you fishing for in Florida? Fresh water or salt water?

Nice. Dorado dolphin and red snapper were my favorite to fish for in Texas.
