Add radar or update everything
Was going to get a trolling motor but they are like 3k then then battries
So I think Radar is the way to go I can add dome to my old garmin 740s for 1200 buck 6in screen
Or put 9in screen chartplotter With 4k radar for 2k -2500
Any brand suggestions

If you're running 1 screen, you're probably going to want something bigger 6" screen. I'd look at 2 screens or at least 9" that you can split into 3 boxes... fishfinder, radar, chart. Personally I'm a fan of simrad and there are some good deals right now on evo3.

I had garmin on the last boat and it worked great. Very nice for fog or night with a great layover image. Get the largest screen you can. Big boat with a small screen is no good. If only one screen get a 10-12
FWIW, when I need radar it is typically due to fog or running at night. In these cases I rarely have a need for a sounder.

Found a good deal on garmin 9in with 18in dome no transducer for 2k
All ready running a striker sidescan stand alone
The Simrad 9in with 4k radar and transducer was 600 more plus they need a heading box if you want chart overlay. More money
Might stay garmin

I had a buddy who swore by Garmin’s radar systems. 9” screen with radar for $2k is a pretty stellar deal...
