Chris, Lowrance has several units that might work. The HDS-5 and Elite-5 models will probably meet your needs. Each one has several variants with different features and price points.

The HDS-5 has all the bells and whistles: internal GPS receiver, full chart plotting and available chart cards. You would need the Nautic Insight version for ocean charts (Lake Insight is $50 less).

The HDS-5 is going for $799 at West Marine. You would probably want the extended warranty as well; probably another $100. Defender Marine has them for $649.

The Elite-5 is a little cheaper than the HDS-5, but it is harder to find.
