Awesome upgrades - ours are much lower down the cost scale- I have thought of Axiom, but for this year, I am going to buy a mid range plotter which still offers NMEA 0183 output so the sentences are more compatible with out older autopilot - I am hoping this will work as out older chart plotter does as it will drive waypoint to waypoint as long as the waypoints are simple numbers. I don't have any experience of using a converter from NMEA2000 to 0183, although this may be an option. So a mid range upgrade - then to completely remould the dash combing and start again next year. In order we want to - upgrade the autopilot (Keep the hydraulics and ram), radar - potentially quantum as liking the wifi / cable free idea. Any advice gratefully sought!
Mixing 0183 and 2000 isn't a big thing tbh I'm still running old bits like the transducers etc using the raymarine itc5 as the converter . Having said that I have my old ray marine hybrid touch plotter I removed now as I needed all axiom pro for lighthouse 4 the old plotter only goes to 3. If you want it....
