I've been really happy with lowrance units. I just up graded from the mark 4 B&W Ff/GPS to the elite 5 color FF/GPS. They come with some basic maps and bottom contours that have helped me locate structure. Rock piles ect. If you shop around you should be able to fine the elite 5 for $350-$400. Ram makes a nice clean mount for it too.

At your budget it's well enough to get a color one.
Yeah, elite-5 is a good unit. What I love the most is the down imaging, quite satisfied with the clearance. Got a piece of review of lowrance elite-5 for you.

What I recommend doing is taking a drive to any Marine place that has the units you're thinking of getting.
Bass Pro Shops sound like a nice little drive.  They have all the units that you would be interested in. You can play with them and see if you would like the controls, buttons, and all. I've had both the Lowrance and Humminbird and I can't say anything bad about either. I have gone back and forth on the units many times. I chose the Humminbird because of the price, the DI, SI, GPS and color and it was in a good price.
