I started out with a hand held but after one trip out in the ocean in rough water it was a real strain to see the display when it was cover with water along with my glasses.

I since have gotten a 5 inch display that is much easier to see when I need it.

Shicks,

That's the unit I just ordered from Cabelas, it was on sale for $199.99 which was fine with me. :D As mentioned, I do plan on upgrading next year before the start of the season rolls around. I have been looking and reading up on the Garmin 178 C Chartplotter/GPS fishfinder combo. Someone suggested that particular unit and said nothing but great things about it. Anyway for this year/season I will be using the Garmin 76 Pro Kit.

Thanks again guys for all your valuable insight and knowledge. I just love this website! :)

You get that 76 and you'll be able to find anyplace ya wanna go ;) ... is there a "hard-wire" option w/that? ... that unit is not a "battery-burner" so don't think I'm implying that it is, but any device that critical to gettin' home, you should have some spare batteries onboard ALWAYS ;) ... and keep an eye on the spares from time to time :D ...
