Humminbird 787c2i vs. Garmin 440s

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and myself will probably be the biggest supporters for the 787... ill echo everything above, and the people that have been on my boat seem to think its a really great unit as well. And now with the side imaging, (which i don't have) I think its a step or two in front of the comparable units....

Also, my GPS antenna failed over the winter and I had to send it back.
It took 1 week turnaround with no questions asked.... Customer service was excellent... keep in mind, I NEVER have a good customer service experience, cars, boats, houses.... Ive tried the whole you get more bees with honey thing, and always seem to be taken for a ride or just blown off. So for me to compliment a customer service dept, thats pretty big.

I recently bought the Garmin 440S through the internet (www.anchorexpress.com). The price was over $100 less than any local store. So far I really like the unit. The display has great resolution and it is bright enough to see in direct sunlight. The buttons are easy to navigate and the menu's are laid out well. I did not get the g2 chip, but the pre-loaded charts seem to be pretty good for Boston Harbor.
