The discontinued Navaman 5505i (very similar to the 5507) has a built in antenna which makes installation simpler. If you can get a good deal on one, it would be a fine choice too.

Navmans have built-in fuel flow software that can be connected to a fuel flow device you can buy later. The Standard Horizon model can be used as fish finders as with an additional transducer. Those options may help you make a decision.
The Standard Horizon CP180 comes in two models, the I has the built in antenna for ease of installation. Just make sure you have a reasonably clear view of the sky with its position. You can actually buy these new for under $400 if you search the internet. I would shy away from Navman, they have had some corporate issues and I think that they were recently acquired. Their quality has never been great anyhow in comparison to other brands.
