Welcome 87enforcer! Another Michigan Checkmate boater, we're still the most!! I don't know which GPS is the BEST for marine use, but I'm keeping my eye on the price of the Garmin 276C.......

It's about the most full featured hand held full mapping GPS out there. It's dual use, street mapping and marine mapping.

I use a garmin etrex.
None of the fancy stuff, water resistant and under $100

I have a Garmin, its the new 60C color it is awesome and you can see it in direct sunlight, I have it mounted right near the steering wheel on a garmin mount setup and can operate it with no problems great with navigation charts. I transfer it in to my truck when im done a day of boating ..Check it out on their web site.
