Binocular recommendations - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So broke the pair of Bushnells I had inherited from my dad. Need to replace w/something for the Pro-Angler to help eliminate chasing wrong things offshore - and hopefully targeting the right things instead.
Contemplating the following https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-...ocus--16502890

But would love some feedback. Understand 7x50 are the best for balancing filed of view, etc. on the water. Would like good light transmission +85 at least. Uncertain about the full, center, fixed focus for the kayak. Want good lens coating and bak-4 prisms. Any guides out there have some suggestions, would appreciate the durability to functionality input. Would like to be under the $200 range - but will go higher if the $ to quality ratio is justified. Better to invest than wasting all the gas money to get to the ocean and time, etc. to chase things that aren't there.

Thanks in advance.
