No, the two standards are not interchangeable. NMEA 0183 is a serial based standard at 4800 baud. NMEA is a much higher speed standard, but I don't recall the exact speed. The wiring is also different. NMEA 2000 uses a special standardized plug, rather than the bare wires you usually find with NMEA 0183 gear.
If you are looking to upgrade, I would go with NMEA 2000 gear, as it has major benefits in terms of simplifying the wiring and data connections on a boat. If you have specific questions, let me know.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
