Pretty much all of the portable fish finders on the market have everything that your looking for.

I have had a portable eagle fish finder for years now, and it has worked great. I would recommend Eagle for just a standard fish finder.

 

If you want to get something a little on the higher end, I just picked up a Lowrance 522 iGPS unit. These are also fantastic! Has the fishfinder as well as a GPS system in it.

I am sure they have a portable GPS/sonar unit as well.

 

Hope this helps!

Humminbird has the Portable 535 or the colour model 585c.

 

Should set you back around $600 for the case, sonar, and materials to change the lantern battery set-up to rechargeable gel-cell batteries.

Hi bowshep,

 

I also fish/troll from a canoe and use the Eagle Fishmark 320P (around $300 in portable version). Self contained portable that works great for me. I guess if you are intending on adding a trolling motor you could select from a larger variety of FF running off the trolling battery. Personally I have enough to transport without adding a trolling motor and battery.

 

Enjoy your new rig.
