I'd look at any sonar you like and fits your budget, and then simply modify it as suggested to make it portable. It's generally pretty simple to do.

The best way I've found to avoid lugging around a large 12V battery is to use two 6V lantern batteries to power your sonar. It's an easy conversion to wire them for 12V output, and they're far more convenient to pack around. In my experience, they'll give you a couple weeks or more of solid use before they have to be replaced.
