Curious - what full electronics set up would you recommend for Freedom 235 for slight off shore use - plotter, radar, ais, radio, anything else? safety more of a concern than budget. Thanks for help. Full details/specifics would be very helpful.

The radio receives AIS targets and they are displayed on chartplotter charts and radar images. I do not have equipment to transmit AIS.
