The yard gave me a quote of $900 for the sanding and epoxy bottom paint.
Any comments on that?

Yes. It's not possible to sand, epoxy coat, and apply antifouling paint for $900. The cost of the epoxy barrier coat and antifouling paint will be close to $400 alone. You should find out exactly what the yard will do for $900. Perhaps all they will do is a quick sand and then apply antifouling paint. That may be OK, but without seeing the current bottom there is no way to know if that is a good idea or not.

I found a Lowrance M68C S/Map Fishfinder Chartplotter for $399. Any thoughts?

I had that unit in my Newport. It was an excellent unit and I really liked it. My only complaint is that the screen is small (3.5"). On my O'day I moved up to a 5" screen which is easier to see. The bigger units cost significantly more money ($600+) so if the 3.5" display works for you, it's a great unit.
Good luck,
Barry
