Welcome aboard Blind Owl,

Your well on the way to finding the boat. Good luck with your search.

As to the navigation dilemma, work with what the boat comes with first. Once you have worked with it and understand how everything works, or is supposed to work, you’ll have a better understanding of what you want.
We have an older Raymarine system that still works and has done so for the last 4 years. In order to “Upgrade” the system, 60-100K (or more) depending on the new system.
We use IPads with Navionics as our primary navigation tool and the old raymarine as our backup. When cruising, we can sit anywhere on the boat to plot courses, time currents and tides, and estimate travel times for the next days cruise.

Hope to see ya out on the water someday!

Cheers
