    Prepare for a flood of side-scan images !!!!

    I finally got the nerve to pony-up and purchase the Humminbird 987c SI that has the side-imaging sonar. Forum member "RGecy" has posted some of his amazing wreck images so it's pretty much his fault .

    I've been talking and talking about all of the wrecks in my area since joining this forum a few months ago. Well, shortly after I receive and install my unit on Thursday, I will begin imaging. I'm already building my website to post the images and of course I will be putting excerpts on this forum as well.

    Mark my words folks...there will many fascinating wreck images coming your way soon.

    I can't wait Scott! I know you have alot of wrecks in your area and I am sure you will be happy with the 987. Let me know if you need any help upgrading the software. I highly recommend buying a 512mb SD card to save your images on and also purchase the Navionics Charts for your area (if your wife will OK it!) Just buy her something nice for Christmas!

    To help with the inbox issue I reccommend becoming a Charter Member. You get full access to all the features, 400 message inbox, a personal Gallery for posting pictures, and your own personal forum if you want it. Marc has done a lot to create an excellent site for us to come together and share ideas and make many friends. All that for $20 a year! Thats the best deal around!

    you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer,
    never give up then for that is just the place and time that
    the tide will turn.

    Agreed Robert. I just went through the Paypal process for the annual membership. I guess it takes some time for it to reflect on the forum though.

    My unit is now on the local delivery truck. I stayed home today to await it's arrival like a new dad pacing the halls of the maternity ward waiting for a new child

    YEEEHAAAAA!!!

    I received the unit yesterday and I will be installing this evening. I took tomorrow off so I strongly suspect images of something will be forthcoming tomorrow (Friday) night.

    My first target areas will be suspected locations of Civil War era ships but who knows what else may show up!!! 8)
