I would say given your size and such: if the unity (the controller) is in good shape that’s a start. I’d plan a new battery and a belt drive train and you’ll be set

Hi, fellow halo owner here. Realistically, you might have to ditch the deck. The biggest battery I could fit was a 10s4p and you’re limited on space for ESC and BMS. And stacking another battery at the bottom would be a no go as you’d lose clearance.
For someone your size, I’d definitely go for belt drive. Hubs and direct drives are pretty cool tbh but as of now, lack the torque you require.
From the quick browse through what you want (30-35mph with 25-30mile range), you’re already looking at a beefy battery. 12s8p at the least matched with a high gearing ratio. You can build a battery yourself, but I recommend going through reliable builders who provide that service. @Skyart @ZachTetra to name a couple. Though I could build one for you too, but I’ll charge double and take twice as long for no reason
For your “motherboard” or ESC (electronic speed controller), @torqueboards is releasing their TB6 Vescs pretty soon and they’re definitely affordable or you can opt for a Unity or Stormcore 60D if you can get your hands on one.
anything 6374 and up. TB6380s are pretty much king at the moment
Everything aside from those that I mention is pretty much preference.
UNFORTUNATELY, you won’t achieve the specs you want with that budget. That wouldnt even cover the electronics sadly. But a pre-built board should NOT be out of the question. A lot of people have had a lot of success with Exway (Pro/Pro Riot/Flex) @BillGordon and @BuildKitBoards is releasing their new board tomorrow I think which I’m hoping to get my hands soon 
Here’s some proof of my halo boards lmao

@Haveywheightskater it’s not a fun process but I can make 18650 batteries for a Halo Board, this is one I made for @Crispeasy like a week ago
If I made another one I’d do it slightly differently (folded nickel) but it’s possible, this is 12s3p but I could so 10s4p (technically there’s room for 42 cells but you need room for the BMS)

Yea idk how you were able to fit those braids in, I felt like I had no option but to do folded nickel, but there might be room along the sides for some 16 or 18 AWG…

This is the same board as the radley
I had one here for repair as I was looking at it I thought the only way to put a bigger battery was to add an encloser to to bottom you would end up with two enclosers and a ton of space.
The though was only to use the bottom one for a battery pack

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
If I had the halo I would just keep it the way it is And enjoy it But that’s me 
and with your new funds start to build you your 30-35 mph board
@Jujo knows his stuff If he says it’s going to be a pain it will probably be a nightmare
There are always great deals on this forum =esk8 parts and market
It seems you got the adrenaline bug like me your going to want multiple boards
