I think Rob you will really only find the word 'CHEAP' in a dictionary...not in Australia.

The cheapest I have so far found is for the HD 798 series (International Version) at $1528 on ebay compared to the regular $1599. Hoping the Brisbane Boat Show next week has some decent deals going.

i have been in the market for the same 898cx SI. i like the fact you can have side scan, down scan, 2 d normal sonar and gps all in one unit. i have noticed that some suppliers are supplying ones that seem really cheap but have an external GPS antenna. Something to look out for.

twin dragons and black jew - did you guys end up buying?

I have 898 si external ariel wasnt aware they were available with internal as i asked the question when i bought it theyu said n/a bloody lot of info in them need training to use one they are all overpriced but at least you can get surgery done easily on h/ birds and upgrades when availiable if required

[Si]

well that may be case then. maybe they dont come with internal antenna. mmm, the ads ive seen for them have made a point about having an external antenna and they always seemed alot cheaper so i just presumed there was internal also. how do you find your unit rodney?

They are probably as good as others i dont use si much but its there if you need to a lot easier to fit and pretty user friendly have sold my top ender now and kept unit but mainly fishing the bay when new boat comes so may change as new boat comes with all the fruit havent decided yet ROD
