I'm just now getting around to looking for a unit for my bowrider. dont want anything uber expensive as I'll probably hard mount it and sell it with the boat when I'm ready to upgrade in a few years.
I'm honestly starting at ground zero and am very noobish on terms with these things.
I'm wondering if there are any all-in-one compact type units out there?
like ones that combine depth/fish finding with say GPS so you can track your boat speed. I dont really need a chart plotter since I stay in the bay with this boat obviously and I know the area but I'd like to be able to get depth/fish/boat speed.
I dont want some massive unit that can display better than my lcd tv screen though, just looking to spend maybe a couple hundred bucks. It also doesnt have to be new, I see used units on ebay all the time, I just dont know what I'm looking at is all.
here's a couple that I "think" have what I want on them?

this one seems to have the highest boat speed ability
