HUH?!?
I've done those upgrades myself in the last few months, and spent less than $500.
In fact, I've added a 1000 W Inverter/Charger, replaced/upsized all my battery cables, added a battery monitor system, a battery combiner, a galvanic isolator, a new 12v and 110 v panel, completely rewired my 110 v system, and spent less than $3000.
I had the help of an electrician friend, but the upgrades you listed are well within the capabilities of a dyi boat owner. Lets break it down:
A new 110 v panel with built in polarity indicator and digital Ammeter ( I used one from West Marine with 30A main breaker and three 15A branch circuit breakers) - $440
A 6 Position Fuse Block With Ground mounted near the batteries - $35
A new 50' 30A/125V shore power cord - $99.00
Total cost $534.00
I got my AC panel on sale, 50% off. You'll probably need to replace your AC wiring. My boat (1979 hull # 118) had the original solid copper wire. So add another $100 or two for wire, more for incidentals like wire ties and such.
Have fun (and save some $$),
Jay
