hey Sandman,
buy the largest screen with the best viewability and clarity that you can afford. I purchased all new electronics last year and opted for a smaller GPS to ensure a custom fit in the dash. I'm looking to add another unit for find a larger unit that will fit.
If you do decide on a laptop, check out panasonics tough book series. They are liquid resistant and shock proof but I'm not sure how well they'll stand up to a marine enviroment.
