UNless you do small screen with no name manufacturers that's a tall order.

I have a Garmin which is a great brand for GPS/plotters & such. That is in color and is a 5 inch screen(sounds large but not all that much) and is $600+. Another $50 adds the sounder. I have a separate Lowrance FF stand alone that is B&W and only $200. Another good brand.

Electronics have gone through the roof on most things.

look B&W and off brands. Display size devastates the price. See one in real life to appreciate the look and feel. You may not like the small display.

SOme of the smaller 4" displays are just too SMALL for me. Add a sounder to the plotter and you have the perverbial 10 pounds in a 5 pound bag on a tiny screen.

Hope that helps?
