Boy, what a loaded question! What you can get now-a-days all depends
on how deep your pockets are. You can do a bunch of pre-shopping, by
going to www.basspro.com

http://www.lowrance.com/ (you WILL pay extra for the Lowrance name)

My husband has a Garmin that he uses on the shrimp boat and the
fishing boat. My understanding is that there is a removable chip that
you purchase for your particular area. I think the most recent one we
purchased was around $1000.00 with color. Of course, there are more
expensive ones as well.
