Electronics setup: What to get... without breaking the bank (more that it already is)
#1
Hi everyone.
Just got our first boat. A 2002 3100 Open. Has been sitting at the dock at least for the last 5 years based on the state of the cabin. Good news is that the engines, trannys, electric panel, etc are close to perfect, which was a bit of a surprise, frankly. The interior will need work in due time, as will the upholstery in the cockpit.

For now, my biggest concern is the navigation instruments. The boat currently has a raymarine L760 Plus that kind of works (loses GPS lock constantly) and a RL70c chartplotter/radar display that is totally shut. Not sure what the model of the radome is (it is a raymarine, probably about the same age as the displays), and have no way to know if it's still working (given that theRL70c is busted)

Would like a nice setup with a new touchscreen that will be reliable and not insanely expensive. Budget for all around 3k... does that sound OK?

Priorities:
Very reliable chartplotter/GPS navigation/depth meter performance and integratiom
Integration with the MEFI-4 gateways for our engines
Decent radar, sonar not that important
Easy to use!

Thanks a bunch!
