Humminbird® is riding high now with excellent technology and service. They won over Kevin VanDam, the number one bass tournament angler in the world. Then they sign a major, multi-year agreement with BASS. And KVD wins their Classic! You'd couldn't script that better in Hollywood!!
Now, if the prices would just come down a little.
The only way to gain any cash in this process is to buy Johnson stock...Yesterday. I am sure it will raise at least 10%.
If you watched the Classic you heard Timmy Horton explain about the new side imaging (excellent explanation) and then when they had camera shots of KVD you sometimes saw the 997 on the console. We all know that what ever KVD does so go the groupies.
The first off production for the 998 was ran last week and full production will run after this run is qualified. I have had my 998 on order since the beginning of Feb., hope for those of you who are wanting the new SI's you have them on order, you may have a long wait, especially since HB has sued Lowrance (you won't be able to get their SI) for pattent infringement. The demand for the 998SI is going to be out of sight.
