A great starter unit is the elite 4 HDI or CHIRP.. Lots of guys use HdS 5 model as well..

But regardless buy the extended long range 100 year warranties

+1 on the WestMarine Warranty. It is essential on a kayak. Your FF is going to be much more exposed than on a boat. It will pay for itself on your first flip in open water or on the beach when you flood your unit.

I have an Elite 4 CHIRP and think it's a great FF. I advise is to wait for a sale at WestMarine when the run them about $75 off and get the gold version with a map card.

I am not sure if anyone else shares a similar opinion but if you stick to the smaller 4 inch units which are almost 1/2 the cost of the 5 inch unit you can upgrade to the newer technology faster at the same cost rater then sticking with a 5 inch unit for another upgrade cycle.
