1st go look for a real boat.....LOL Just Kidding. My 1st purchase would be to upgrade the electronics, then upgrade the trolling motor, and then begin swapping out those 12v lites to LED's to conserve battery power. Just my thoughts.

If it hasn't been done have the motor serviced, TuneUp, impeller, fuel line and bulb, decarb. All the electronics in the world wont do you any good if it wont get you out there and back reliably, and you wouldn't like it if you blow your wad on electronics then your motor breaks and its something that a little PM would have taken care of.

get the big motor checked out and go fish. it looks like you know how to fish (pics on sig) so go have fun. the more you are on the water, the more you will learn.

Check the trailer out. Make sure the bearings were properly greased and the bearings are good. On a ten year old unit you want to know its gonna get to the lake and back with no issues.
