Just my opinion, Garmin is a lot more user friendly and easier to use.
My brother in law got a Raymarine and it is heck to use.
Garmin makes a lot of small waterproof, floating hand helds that are pretty good.
But if you want one that has all the bouy's, bays and stuff like that, you will need to get one that you can load with charts.
I have a Hummingbird GPS/Fishfinder that came with my boat. It downloads charts from satallite, where ever you are, don't have to buy them.
But it is not as easy to operate as the Garmin.
I have the Garmin 76C hand held color chartplotter with all the maps loaded form Texas/Mexico border to Morgan City. All the platforms, bouys,
rivers, bays, canals, roads, bridges, fuel docks ect. are loaded on it.

I have a Humminbrid 383C that I just replaced with a better humminbird. I didn't need to swap out old wires/transducer so I have them new in the box. I had to used the new mount. I do have the old. Only catch is that my 383 display went out. Humminbird said to send it back and they could fix it but I just opt'd to buy a new one. Get a hold of me in about 3 days, right now I am in Orange Beach fishing a tournament
