Most LCD TVs have a specific mounting point based on a VESA compliance standard. You need a solid type mount vs. swing away or adjustable tilt. otherwise you will have issues in anything but the calmest waters (and Lake MI ain't calm).
Buy a brand that you trust, I work for JVC, but we don't have anything that will fit your needs, I'm guessing(26" is our smallest). Sharp, Samsung, Sony, in that order, will be your best bet.
That should get you started. Let me know if I can help any further, I know some of the guys at local GR retailers and also know some Web retailers that are worthy of consideration.

I have always been told to mount it in the floor....... because that is where it will ultimately end up........

We run out of our home on Pottowatomi Bayu, up river.

Bad news about The Warf, I haven't dealt with them. However our boat was there 2 years ago, before we got it through the previous owners estate. Poor guy only had it one season before he passed.
Nice PQ, I like the graphics, we considered one with graphics allot like yours out of IN. but ended up not being able to pass up the deal on the 382.
Anyway, power is a pair of freshened 500 efi's with bumped up cams, computer mods, head work and Teague breathers. Baker thinks the mods squeeze 50 or so more HP out of the motors which is probably why I hit the limiters (5500) with 28p B1s. We're re-propping this spring, probably 5 blades.

I wonder if this was the boat you were looking at in IN? I bought it from a guy who lived about 45 mins south of Indy and took delev in late June, I had Mitcher T add the fade and some other stuff last fall so it may look a bit different. SUPER nice Formula, how fast is she? If you feel the need to go back to 502's let me know, I would be happy to swap
We looked at Formulas but they seemed to be about 25k more than the same PQ so we stayed with them. I had a 29 PQ befor this and have had nothing but good luck with them. At least Formula is still open, PQ is out of business right now, but looks like there will be new owners soon.

The fade you added is a real improvement, I like it allot.
As far as going back to 502's, I have them, the're just BLUE
