Glad you're going to do it right. Be sure use size the main wire from the battery to the panel correctly and be SURE to fuse it right where it comes off the battery - of all the wires in the boat, that's the one you don't want with an infused short.
If your boat is anything like my '85, it's been through a few generations of electronics. I got a couple of 5 gallon buckets loosely filled with completely unused wire when I went after it to clean it up.
