I arrived Saturday night about 2300 and worked until 0400.  I returned at noon and had a locate around 1430 hrs.  The plane was recovered with 2 inside today.

Excellent work with great images. 
Just curious about the TEMP readings on your screens: 17degs to 43degs and you are near New Orleans with everyone in short sleeves?

My 997 (non 360 compatible....ancient) is on it's last leg.  The screen locks and / or drags with plenty of voltage and there are other issues such as the temp has been crazy for about 6 months.  It really acted up on this search but I had my 898 there to back it up if it crapped out. 

I ordered a Helix 12 today as a replacement.  It will be here in a few days.  Mark

I think you will really like the Helix 12.  I just upgraded from a 999 to the Helix 12si.  The larger, higher resolution screen is very nice.

It looks the same as far as the operational aspect, same transducer, and BIG screen for my eyes that are not as good as they used to be.  Plus I can run my 360 on it too instead of having to start another unit.
