Honestly, my bar is pretty low. I don't even really need/want GPS with the Navionics App on my phone and a freshly installed USB charger to keep the iPhone juiced. Really, for $200 I could get away with one of these babies and be tickled pink:

The only reason I asked about the first one was my thinking that I could get a $500 depth finder for only $70 more than the basement model Helix 5.
And yes, money and space is limited. I'd love to get a large model, but it just won't fit on my tiny single console Alumacraft Classic Deluxe.
