One of the most common questions we get is simply “what’s this going to cost me?” Here’s a realistic breakdown across three budget tiers.
| Tier | Chartplotter/Fish Finder | Trolling Motor | VHF | Typical Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget | £300-£500 | £400-£800 (or none) | £80-£150 | £500-£1,500 |
| Mid-range | £800-£2,000 | £1,500-£2,500 | £150-£300 | £2,500-£5,000 |
| Premium/tournament | £3,000-£6,000+ | £2,500-£3,500 | £300-£500 | £6,000-£10,000+ |
Where to spend first
If budget is tight, prioritise a reliable fish finder/chartplotter combo over a premium trolling motor — you can upgrade the motor later without touching the wiring you’ve already run for the display. See our full price breakdown by category or browse the shop directly.
