Or would you keep both if I were to go with that one?
Thanks for all the feedback!

My boat came with a humminbird matrix already installed so all I had to do was just pop of the matrix and pop on the 787c2 . When I baught it I ordered it without the transducer because there was already the same one on the boat...You can by the side scan ducer.Mr.hunters...They sell that unit now with the option of the side scan ducer...I dont know, I am happy with what I have. For now I will stay with the standerd ducer..

Wow, that's a pretty good machine - looking at the icons it even tells you that those were bloooofish.    |
Best regards,

Now that you heard from all the Garmin owners.
I been using Raymarine products for quite a few years.
The new color 435 has a bigger screen than the rest for 700$.
I just upgraded my old Ray (B&W) to the 435 and its SCHWEET !!!
Anyway do your homework.
Good luck, try ebay, I got a great deal.

I have a Raymarine 425 way to slow on the redraw. I just got a garmin 178 (small unit)for my skiff and hope to upgrade the Ray with a garmin 3206 so I can add radar later on. Check out the Garmin 498 two of my friends have them nice units and the price just came down a little too.

I want to add. The garmin 178 replaced a Humminbird 15 Max fishfinder that has been replaced every year for three years . bad power cables moisture in screen and background light good thing for extended warranties.

[QUOTE=NEXT2NUN;470669]I have a Raymarine 425 way to slow on the redraw.
Exactly !
I've been on MANY boats with Raymarine units, and thats one problem I find with them, VERY slow processors compared to others !
The slow redraw can make navigating in unfamiliar waters tough! !
Also, using the functions like adding / editing waypoints, finding services (gas docks,tide information, dockage) ect... can be confusing compared to other units !
Raymarine makes great radar and the high definition fish finder is great also, but for a chartplotter, there are much better choices!
