Check out the Delorme PN40. Found it for around $296 and it comes with topo software.

I have to agree about the GPSMAP 76. It is crucial that your GPS floats. I got about a half mile out one trip last year and could not find my GPS. I paddled back in thinking I would find it on the beach or in the surf zone. I could not find it and started to paddle back out and found it floating in the water about fifty yards from shore. What a relief!!!
