Top notch gave me a lower price for Livorsi shifters then Livorsi. They also had the best price on trim rings.

GAFFRIG PERFORMANCE gave me a good price IF I needed to change all the gauges, you may want to check with them. My gauges just needed new rims and glass, plus the pointers were faded on the TACHs and speedo so I didn't need new ones.

I talked with Mike Schultz

Hey that's my boat! That's probably not too bad of a price when considering the parts and the labor involved. I took the old dash, gauges, and throttles and sold them on OSO or ebay to offset some of the cost. It helped a bunch.

It came out real nice. Might as well do the port side while you are at it though.

Glad you posted that picture, I was wondering if I wanted to do the port side as well.

Looks like I have my answer.

yea raf I am doin mine exactly the same (hope you don't mind), I was just going to do a couple upgrades here and there then I saw a pic of yours and that is so nice lookin, you did it up right!! Now showing me the port side isn't gonna help my sticker shock that I already have, I am easily sold so dont show me anymore!!

Never thought of that, I think I might try that. Not gonna lie though mine are pretty bad looking. You have a fine looking boat, did you get all of your parts directly from Livorsi?

Just some paint and another GPS mounted in the glove compartment. The second GPS is not that expensive because you can use the puck off of the starboard dash and do not need to add a second. You can do the other side for around a few hundred.

They are going to laser mine.

Do you mean on the dash panel which you painted yourself?
If so, I'd be interested to know how did you paint it exactly.
I don't think laser etching can be done on any kind of painted alloy - or am I mistaken?

I have not had them do mine yet but they said as long as the substrate is smooth no problem.

As for how I am going to paint it, that's easy. It is just aluminum so I will just strip and paint like any other piece of metal.
