Triple engine 42 with monster gauage dash?
 
We are getting a triple engine 42 next year. I was wondering about the dash set up? Is it still possible to get monster guages ? . Does anyone have examples of the arrangement of these monster guages? Or are we out of luck? Any pic or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here is one at Peir57

monster dash

Seems like they did another one in a different fashion a few years ago.

Honestly the boat does not need em.
trip HP500's and twin staggered 500's would yield about the same speed give or take 1-2 ish MPH and that can be found by labbing props, scuffing the running surface, taking some of the weight out of it if your that crazy for 1-2 mph.
I keep looking at a 93 fountain 42 with trip 750 sc's Pfaff engines in it and its mouth watering but I think, hell twin 750 sc staggered config would yield the same speed so I never move forward with it. Beautiful boat though out in Oregon.
Plus my % for financing goes up with trips (can understand the insurance but the financing % goes up?? WTF is with that?)
