Very powerful transmitter and fine detail on the display. I doubt that you can buy a better sonar unit for the money anywhere.
I have a 787C2 with external GPS that I love. The sonar capabilities of mine are the same as the 777 but mine is a combo unit that is also a chartplotter.
The only problem I have discovered with mine so far relates to the fact that it is a combo unit and only has one SD card slot which means that if I have a Hotmaps SD card installed and want to capture a screen shot of something I see on the sonar I must first remove the Hotmaps card and replace it with another SD card with sufficient space avaliable to save the screeshot. VERY annoying that and it is a problem that I could have completely avoided by buying the NVB version of the same unit which has all the maps preloaded from the factory. I am currently in the process of finding out from humminbird if there is any way to convert mine to to the NVB version but even if I can't it is still a keeper!
