Let some other sucker buy and install all the techno geek stuff.

===========================

On the other hand you get to install the stuff that YOU want and not
what someone else wanted. I usually end up replacing about half the
electronics on a used boat in the first year that I own it.

We bought an old boat with no electronics on it. So there was nothing
to replace. We had a VHF radio, an AM/FM radio and a Loran and that
was about it.

What I was referring to was stuff like lines, fenders, dinghy,
outboard, and stuff like that. And we even got some charts, tools and
extra equipment (pots and pans for the kitchen) and soft furnishings.

The first thing we got was a GPS - it didn't have one. But we could
get on the boat and sail and go to a dock and tie up without having to
buy a lot of stuff first.
