Buyer's Remorse??
Dude...you already have a signed agreement, so this is more soapbox than advice....
You know that by time you get done with these projects, you've have invested 2x what you paid for this boat. 1x for boat + 1x for 'projects' = 2x.
You will NOT get this 2x investment back, so I hope you are doing this for love.
I am all for 'upgrades', and I am guilty of some additions that made me happy, rather than necessary....but I just can't help but feel you are going down a slippery slope here.
If you had doubled your boat purchase budget, it's possible you could have found a larger boat with more load capacity in similar condition, that already had most of the amenities you are planning (head, roller furling, canvas, proper 12VDC system and capacity and, maybe, a chartplotter/GPS).
I'd add that you will probably need to plan for a new bottom job cause you're going to need to raise the waterline once you get all that stuff on board.
Either way, good luck, ANY sailboat is better than NO boat....
