898c HD SI Combo, Discontinued?
« on: October 05, 2013, 09:02:03 AM »
Hello, This is my first post because I just purchased a new 898c HD SI Combo. I went to Humminbird's website to register the unit to find out that they no longer list the 898c HD SI or the 998c HD SI Combo, they are now listed as 899 and 999ci HD SI. My question is did I invest in a discontinued unit?  http://store.humminbird.com/products/740547/899ci_HD_SI_Combo

It may be possible that this is discontinued.
I just noticed that there is an 1199 unit available.
Humminbird comes out with new products October 1 every year.

Yes.....There are new 800, 900, and 1100 series units being released.
**Looking for the one that makes it all worthwhile**

Even when HB discontinues a current model...software updates will be available for that unit for several years...at least until the internal parts can no longer jive with the updates...
