For a relatively small boat like yours, consider just adding an AIS receiver to the chart plotter. This will inform you of large traffic in your area along with their course/speed and closest point of approach. You can get an AIS receiver for as little as $200, check Milltech. Radar will assist you in avoiding both larger traffic and small. In a 36ft boat it really doesn't matter that much if you get run down by a 300ft freighter or an 80 ft fishing boat. You are responsible for avoiding the collision via your own lookout.
