For $25 I would get it. It will give you more area to look at. instead of just down you can look out to the sides

I don't have the quadrabeam. I have the Martix 87c & 787c2 , but Only the dual beam, but am thinking about getting it. It will cost alot more now than $25 since I all ready have the units. I would buy it now for only the $25 extra. You don't have to run the quad all the time, but It is nice to have .

I would go for the 787c2i over the 777c2. for the extra $150 you get GPS and mapping

the 787c2i has a unimap built in and is compatible with navionics cards, the 777c2 is not. the 777c2 will recieve GPS ( with extra GPS receiver) but not any mapping, and you will have to buy a GPS receiver for it if you want GPS, I think that is over $100.

If GPS is not a big thing with you then The 777c2 is good, but if you would like GPS and mapping then The 787c2i is a way better unit.

I would spend the extra $25 and get the quadrabeam.  It will allow you to see more water and to pinpoint your targets quicker.  See here for better explanation:

I have the 767 combo.  If you are able I would recommend the 787c2 with color for about $100 more. It will give you color, which I thought was overpriced, but now  I wish I would have gotten it.

Or if you want better yet get the 797c2.  see here:

Or if you want the cats bottom and never look back, get the 997c.  I wish I would have.

You'll like any of them but, If your like me, you won't be able to go out on the  water without thinking,

 " I sure wish I had that side imaging unit so I could really see what is down there"

Good luck.
