West Marine is having a sale: https://www.westmarine.com/buy/hummi...58?recordNum=4

For navigation purposes only a 5" screen is sufficient. If you want to split the screen and run the fishfinder at the same time I wouldn't recommend less than a 7" screen.

That would work nicely for you. A lot less dough than the Simrad unit.

Of course if money is no object...Go nuts and buy the latest and greatest!
I have a 7" Humminbird Helix that is almost unusable due to very low quality, sticking buttons. Helix 10 is fine. My old 5" Lowrance was better than its replacement Helix 7.
