I feel out of place with my 35..... still a flat deck at least lol

I love that boat so simple and clean looking....I didn't update my interior too much but just enough, still looks like it belongs on the boat of 1985 to me....

good luck!! looks like lots of us have tons to do this winter..!!

I would leave the vacuum / boost gauges. They are a tell tail when things start going bad in your engine. I know where mine should be and one was off a little. I caught a failing valve before it took out the whole motor.

here are the some Ideas I had for the dash panels, the 2 large gauges in the center are the tachs, and the 740 gps would be used for the speedo in this setup

Congratulations!! Great looking boat and a real wave crusher. I like your idea of keeping it origional. You just can't beat that classic look. Best of luck with your project.

I agree with Mark 100% Boost gauges are how I run my T/G. When your out cruising and want to conserve fuel run negative boost or on the vacuum side. 0 and higher you are opening up you vacuum secondary unless your running mechanical and really starting to dump fuel. I run different props depending on water conditions or if I'm out to play so no matter what I run the same thing goes.
They are a very handy tool and once you learn to use them you will never go without.

Good luck on your project and remember Do it right the first time so you don't have to redo it. It looks very nice.

Doug

I ended up buying a whole 19 gauge set up from a mid 90s TG, with boost gauges, so everything will match
