I have found a 7" TFT that does 780 cd/m2 that should work and intend to drive it through the DPI interface. I am looking at a target of no more than 6W power consumption.
I will build a case that should at least survive water spray.
This will be a project over the winter months though.
Very interested; I'd love to hear how it goes. I also looked at the Newhaven displays.
I found it interesting that the resistive touch version is 780 cd/m2, while the plain one is 1000 cd/m2.
I presume you're planning something like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2453 (which uses up your I/O pins.. but maybe that's OK). ...or do you have some other interfacing trick in mind?

www.faytech.com
Had a look. Can't find any pricing on that site; sent them an inquiry. Is there an online retailer you use?
In my searching, I came across this interesting product line:
http://www.stone-hmi.com/
(Click the 'advanced' tab to see the sunlight-readable versions).
Lots of them listed on ebay... around $100 for the smaller ones.
Just reading the specs, they have their own controller, a customizable U/I, and talk over UART. I don't think they'd do for a chart plotter, but for something like a wind/speed/depth instrument display, it might be worth looking at.
(btw: it seems like the same idea as this: https://nextion.itead.cc/, except they offer sunlight-readable versions)
Does anyone here have any experience with them?
