I have used the etrex for some years now and find it good value and easy to use. It can run via 12v or with 2 batteries. Garmin is good as well.

Many free apps only display in whole mph, and for relatively slow boat speeds it is useful to have a decimal place.
One such app I have seen is 'GPS Test', which has a few useful features, including a 'Night Mode' (where the screen goes a dim red). Free for basic version, with prompts to upgrade to the paid one.

I use a plumbed in Wema GPS speedo, (see picture attached, apologies for the dust, it was taken during winter work), appears to be pretty accurate.

Good free app for android devices which gives one decimal place plus max speed .

I use my Garmin Sat-Nav from the car. It registers 10ths of a mile per hour - e.g. 3.8mph, plus it has the advantage of showing exactly where I am on planet earth.
I've checked the low speed accuracy with a stop watch and found it to be very good. It registers down to about 1.0 - 1.5 mph. I always know our speed.
Can't remember the price exactly - but round about the £60 mark.
The bonus is - as it is used both in the car or on the boat, I didn't have to buy an additional system.
