First of all, stick with Lowrance Products.
Secondly, one of the best and rugged hand held units i've ever used is the IFinder H2O.

I use one now and my buddy has the same exact model. I use mine primarily for navigating the ocean in less than favorable conditions. Never failed me. My buddy has one and he uses his on a kayak. Yep, a Kayak. I've personally been with him when it's been doused over and over under salt and fresh water. It's mounted on the bow and it takes a beating. Color is going to cost you around 260.00, black and white is around 170.00. I have black and white, however, if I could go back in time, I would spend the extra money on color. Color contrasts way better in direct sunlight. [cool]
