I understand not wanting to use the iPad as a primary system, and it's not going to be. Primarily we prefer paper charts and that'll be what stays in place.
We are looking at purchasing, first off, a transducer (in-hull, not through-hull), and a combined/multi-function display for outside. Both NMEA.
My dad's leaning towards this for the display:

And I'm just looking around for the right transducer to go along with it. Any assistance or recommendations on that would be fantastic.
I know this system won't be built immediately, but at least getting things in place is a start.
Edit: also, is there any issue mixing NMEA 2000 and the previous version? Some transducers I've found seem to only have the older variety.
