I would look for which gps has the best charts/maps. If it's mainly for salt water you probably don't have to worry much about upgrades.

I use the garmin 60cs (great unit) but it's mainly for hunting. The 76cs is a waterproof equivalent. I don't know what sort of marine charts are available.

The Garmin colorado 300 is an awesome gps.  Very accurate with a nice size color screen.
