I am having some trouble trying to find a White GPS Chartploter for my dash, does anyone know where i can get a white one, or if there is even such a thing. Its all grey or black, ive checked RayMarine, Ratheon, Humminbird, Cobra, Lowrance, Garmin, Northstar, Furuno, and NAVMAN.

Right now im leaning towards lowrance 5200c because i already have a lowrance depth finder on there, and at least it comes with a white cover. It does have to be a smaller one about 5" screen to fit under the windshield.

There should be room on the dash right of then VHF and that speaker on the dash is just set up there in the pictures its not actually mounted there.

Couldnt find anything to suit my needs, plus i have limited dash space and dont want it to look cluttered. I already do not like how he mounted the VHF on the dash but i guess its not to bad. I am just going to go with a hand held and install a ram mount where that speaker is sitting on the dash. Im tryin to decide between the Lowrance H2O and the Garmin GPSMAP 76Cx or 76CSx. If anyone has used these units and have and suggestions it would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was looking for the same thing and couldn't find anything, ended up buying a cheap eagle cuda 250 that was an open box for $150 and painted it. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I was going to take apart and paint and possibly wreck. Turned out nice I think. Next year I will upgrade to a Lowrance 5?? and mount it in the dash where the speedo and tach are.
