looking to get some electronics for the boat. i've budgeted $600 and want a gps and FF or combo.

i almost exclusively fish for stripers/cats/crappie in lake murray sc.

i like the humminbird 785c2 combo unit:
Brilliant color, 640V x 480H high resolution 5" TFT display
Precision 16 Channel GPS Receiver with WAAS/EGNOS
DualBeam PLUS sonar delivers wide coverage and better bottom definition
Selectable 20° or 60° beams, or simultaneous operation
Maximum 4000 Watts peak-to-peak (500 Watts RMS) Power Output
compatible with Navionics Gold

space is somewhat limited on the console unless i use ram type mounts.

any thoughts on this unit or comparable units? experience with combo units? opinions on going with a combo versus separate units?

thanks for the input!
