That depends upon how far Offshore you plan on going? I have a hand held that fits into quick release mount (pictures in the gallery) on the console. This way if I have to go over the side for some reason, I can grab it and go and still have a working radio. I though don't go much past 5 to 8 miles Offshore so a hand held is fine for my needs.

As far as my GPS goes (no fish finder works where I fish) I to have a Garmin 172C with the built in Antenna and it is also installed on a quick release mount. This way I can also use it in my Pathfinder setting on the forward console. Matter of fact, I more than likley use it more in the Truck than on my boat, but at least this way I get a lot more use out (bang for the buck) of it then just on my boat.
