None of those in the link.
For Marine Handheld, the most suitable is the GPSMAP 76CSx. The only advantage this has over the GPSMAP 60CSx is that the GPSMAP 76CSx will float in case your boat capsizes

Didn't realise there were more pages.
Whatever the case, my recommendation is still correct

Throw that list away.
personally I will recommend the Nuvi500 or 550.
It has a big touch screen which is very useful for use in a car, and it is totally submersible in water, and it is Bluechart compatible. The best part is that it is still cheaper than the GPSMAP 76CSx.
The only disadvantage is it's battery endurance. However if the boat has 230VAC or 12VDC supply, then you can rig it to supply power to the Nuvi.
Never bluff you one.

Today's world goes with GPS handhelds which are outfitted with generic mapping and operational software not specifically designed or always very useful to boaters and mariners. It shows accurate position, speed, and course information supplied by a handheld GPS used in conjunction.
