Hiya Tassie JR, welcome to Ausfish.
Pretty sure the 4500 is Navmans top colour fishfinder, and the 5600 is the top of the range tracker, so I must say I'm somewhat envious!

Here is a review of the 4500.
600 watts rms, should be great for what you want.
Very good score, what boat did you buy?
Cheers.

Think you will like the navman 5600. I had one in my last boat and did not have a problem with it. Very easy to read & use plus has the advantage of adding a fuel transducer, if you havent already got one and possibly doing some miles its certainly worth putting in as its a lot more accurate than normal gauges.
