NEED refit advise on Electronics-Help please !

i HAVE A 1990 bENETEAU 41s5 WHICH i BOUGHT A YEAR AGO AND HAVE BEEN RESTORING SINCE-EXCEPT FOR 3 MONTHS OFF FOR OPEN HEART SURGERY. (opps). I just added a Standard Matrix 200 vhf with a RAM mic back to the wheel. It has a ST50 wind that doesnt work and a old 4x4 ray GPS which doesnt work either and a Ray4x4 Depth that does work but the Ray4x4 speedo transducer is missing but the plug for that is in. I have also added a Ray 150 wheel pilot but havent sea tuned it yet. I was thinking of getting a Chartplotter , a AIS and maybe a mast mounted radar. Was looking at the RAY Quantum RADAR with wifi combined with a Ray element 9HV MFD with the transducer included just in case the old depth finder gives out. Also think I would like to have a monitor at the nav station as i want the new plotter at the wheel. I dont really like paying for sonar but most of the chart plotters MFD s seem to include it as there are many more fishing peeps than real old sailors like me. The best nav system Ive ever used was on my prior MT34 Trader that had a Garmin 3208 both at the cabin wheel and the flybridge . It also had Garmin radar. I installed a Standard 2200 radio which showed the other boats broadcasting on AIS but didnt show them me. The lower 3208 one had a 19" monitor that was plugged into it. This monitor also worked as a TV set. Comments please. My budget is 5 nautical units.

I put new Raymarine plotter, sounder, radar, and AP on our last boat, 5 years ago, and really liked it. It was user friendly and the networking was a snap.
