The instrument panel and dash have been re-designed, eliminating the step. They are flat with the change in I think '02.

the previous owner had done mine, I love the way he set it up, he said it want hard at all.

MAN! that boat is fast at 1400 rpms

Yeah , but it won't last long...look how low the oil pressure is

umm yea.. was up with that ?

WOW! I did the EXACT same layout on my '89 311 several years ago! Put the factory dash back in when I traded it and sold the Gaffrig set-up to another 311 owner.

My only guess is, when we unhooked the batterys for winter, thats just where the gauges rested. Red, did you sell them to a guy in VA named John? I had the GPS speedo done last year.

Coicidental that I did sell to a guy named John, but he lives in Monroe, MI. Dash panel was laid out exactly the same as your's ... there is no other lay-out to accomodate the bezels on the bottom row of guages. My Gaffrigs (by Livorsi) were black face with red bezels.

I'm VERY happy with the layout, it makes everything easy to see with a quick glance, all the needles point in the right directions and can group them while not taking eyes off path.

Probably on the high-end as well, but Gaffrig sells dash panels, I've seen them in their catalog.
