Sounds like the unit for you is the Humminbird 899, but don't forget to upgrade transducer before using. Its a great unit and relatively easy to figure out. And lots of help on this site for humminbird and Lowrance. But I dont think you will get a Lowrance unit that has all 3 technologies mentioned above for your budget.

Humminbird also has the Helix 5' and 7's. I have heard people have complained about the screen sizes of the 5's, so definitely look at the 7's. They are coming out soon.
