Looking for some opinions on buying a used fish finder. Im looking at picking up a used Humminbird 797 c2 SI anyone out there have any experience with this model??? are they worth the money or is it worth it to buy a more recent model and spend more? Also how many hours of use is too many??? Any info is helpful, Thanks!

I own this model of Humminbird. I got it about 3 years ago from a good friend who used it for a season on his Triton. I have had nothing but good experiences with this unit. I have a lot of hours on mine! It gets used pretty hard. Up until a month ago it was my primary unit that I had on the dash of my boat, but I liked the SI and features so much I upgraded to a 997 SI unit for the dash and moved the 797 up to the trolling motor! I am a fan of Humminbird because I am a simple kind of guy and they are a bit more user friendly as compared to the Lowrance IMO. The only drawback is the screen is small of Side Imaging, but it is better than no SI!
appreciate your info! does Humminbird offer software updates for these models??
Yes I have updated my software so now that unit does down imaging as well. There is 1 slot for an SD card so you can update it that way and it can run a Nav chip.
