So I recently picked up a smaller 16' bay boat for fishing the PNW. Depth 0 to 400 feet. I need help outfitting it with electronics. The boat is a center console w/o a cabin so the electronics will get wet. I need the best fishfinder/transducer/gps for the money. Budget is $1000 to $1200. Used is okay.

I really like furuno fishfinder/gps, but feel they are out of my price range. I was leaning towards the HDS 7 gen 2 with a tm260 transducer, but would like a larger screen. Everyone says, bigger the better. This led me to look at older combo units such as the lowrance lcx113c HD. 10.4 in screen with a 800x600 pixel display. Add a nice transducer and you have yourself a great unit. Right? I don't know. I do not need structure scan for bay fishing.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
