I wouldn't think the spaces will be needed either. I noticed no difference getting on plane w mine w/o the spacers.

Come on Spring

I'm hoping not, it gets up pretty quick now, if i can spin the bigger diameter 30's or 32's to max rpm it should put me close to or over 100.. with the new blueprinted and painted bottom it will be exciting to find out.

I'm also going to coat the new awlgrip bottom that was done by Mark at Rage.
What ceramic coat are you using, if you dont mind me asking? Trying to get a little education on them, as I am thinking about doing it on my Red gel cruiser to try and stop fading/oxidation?

I use 2 in my business, Ceramic Pro is my base line, but for a true 10H hardness I use Kenzo and Kenzo Marine by IGL

Thanks. Both of those have to be certified installer applied, correct? Any recommendation for a diy product?

Correct, kenzo definitely by a good installer, ceramic pro somehow seems to wind up in everyone's hands even though they say professional only... the main thing is the prep, if you have older dry gel, it needs to be done right before you apply product other wise it will just absorb it all and it wont last as long. if you are going over clear, do a buff, polish and then a alcohol wipe, then apply.

all the fusion stereo components are made by garmin so are 100% interface-able with the GPS, getting all the NEMA hookups done.. when they took all the wiring out from the previous systems, Mitch said it was about 100 lbs of wire, from at least 5 diff systems and diff people working on it over the years, i only put one in. there were some speaker wires that were run with power wires and some laying on top of power, no wonder I had alternator noise in the stereo.
