Yeah I figured adding the indicator gauge wouldn't be terrible. The boat has all the original owners manual including the trailer so I believe it is. The part with the winch and roller is adjustable and could be moved forward, but I'd hate to change anything as it tows really well.

Congratulations. I just went from a 22 scarab too a 98 271 FASTech. Currently swapping my 600hp 496 stroker, XR/-1, and dual ram steering in. I will be selling the EMI Thunder exhaust and Corsa capitals call if you're interested.

As much as I'd like to have it, my bank account is pretty tapped out right. The purchase of the boat was the cheap part, its all the other stuff thats starting to add up. For now I'm just going to enjoy what I got and if I decide to do something with the exhaust I can always have a go back later on it.

So quick question, last night I was messing around in the cabin and took the bed cushions off. I noticed under the front one there is round access hatch. I tried to open it to see what was under it, but all it did was spin, never opened. What is under there?

The furthest back cushion (closest to the mirror) is the one that I'm talking about. There is an access hatch there, and I want to know whats under it. Under the middle tank is the fresh water tank, and under the last tank is the toliet.

I wills second the Bennett tab control. Installed one on my 272LS and it is very nice to know where the tabs are.
