    I've got to do a good bilge cleaning and track down why I had gas on top of the intake manifold on my starboard engine. It did seem to be using a lot more gas than the port side, but I never smelled any nor did I see my oil level rise. And maybe get a set of those transome underwater LEDs.

    My handlin will be a beer on a beach.

    The birdie would be telling the truth! It aint a 32 footer running 80 in four footers, but 60 - 110 in 4 seconds on calm water is fun too!!

    the thing about Gaffrig is that these are REAL fog and water proof not like Livorsi ( AUTOMETER ) because thats all they are , AUTOMETER gauges with a Livorsi dial...in fancy colors !

    sorry...but true.

    PS I told Mike Schultz ( presi from gaffrig ) to make some more colors and he is, the Catalog is a little outdated on the colors of gauges and bezels..so a phonecall will help !
    Just tell him Scotty said so..LOL

    Check the blower to manifold gaskets Mark. I had the same issue this summer with my blower gaskets. I had some fuel pushing out under boost past the o-ring. The early B&M blowers used a o-ring, they later changed to a gasket. Yours have a gasket. Dont get them thru summit or jegs, they are expensive. Call the Blower Shop, they are like 7 bucks a piece or so. Might need a little sealer on them. Gas will eat regular RTV, so use a fuel resistant sealer on the gasket surfaces.

    I didnt have any issues with gauges, just panel itself getting done. I chose to go with the Autometer Marine Gauges. I went with the Silver with Chrome Race rims. I like the race rims better than the typical double lip style rims. Only thing I wish I would have done was went with Monster size gauges.

    When shopping for the gauge packages, I have 15 gauges total. It was like 900 for autometer marine, and like 1500 for livorsi. Autometer makes gauge, livorsi customizes them. I had autometers in my past boats with no issues. The older gaffrigs that were in the Fountain when I got it, had spider cracked lenses on several of the gauges. They all worked fine though. I dont think they use the plastic lenses anymore though.

    CPPERFORMANCE had a deal when I bought mine, I got a free bezel in any color with each gauge. So that was like 150 bucks worth of bezels for free with the order. That was cool!

    Agreed any clowndick can run fast in a 30' plus boat. It takes stones to do it in a smaller one.

    Joe your dash looks great. I agree the gaffrig guages of yester year were shotty at best. CP typically runs specials over the winter.

    Dash looks awesome! I am going to need to my dash panel painted and re-labeled. I was also thinking of having the holes opened up for bigger guages. Does anyone else do this besides Livorsi and the guy Mild used? As far as the gauges I am going to shop around and see who has the best looking gauge for the price. I only have a single engine so it should be rather reasonable.

    Trust me, Ill find you something to do if you get bored. I have seen your carpentry work, and I like. Maybe you can make up all the new wood for my new interior before I get it covered. Not bad since we dont have to worry about making pieces for the engine hatches! Nice.

    With his economical single carb design, you'll actually get somewhere on the 30 gallons that boat will hold.
