The Kobo Aura H2O might be what you want. 6.8" screen and waterproof. The various Kobo devices have been used for similar projects. XCSoar for gliders is one. There was also someone doing something similar for sailing. The Kobo device was accessing a device on the boat that served the speed and other information. The person who was doing this posted a couple of photo's of the result, but I can't find them at the moment.

And as a note, all the current Kobo devices share the same firmware. This is just Linux and doesn't need any real jailbreaking. The networking does check a site before finishing the connection, but there are several ways around this.
