As far as exhaust I like Stainless Marine. But, you will get a lot of different preferences here. As far as gauges I would wait till you have the boat and see how they work. I would save the money for exhaust and a remap and aircleaner. You should get about 63-64 with that boat with those mods. But everyone has different prioritys. I would really not do a thing to the boat till you have it spend put some time on it and live with it and then decide what you want to spend your money on. It must be tough waiting for you! Again, good luck with it!

Gary C, didnt you used to live in NY ? did you move south like every other NY'er. (I'm from Rochester and now live in Virginia Beach)

Here's the thing--2 of the gauges have yellowed (tach and temp) so at a minimum I want to replace those two along with adding bezels and a new steering wheel. I want to order the things Im going to need so when the boat does arrive (May) I can install and hit the water. Im planning on mooring the boat in Lake Washington.

CP Performance is having a sale on white faced Auto Meter gauges and the come with free bezels. If you simply want to replace the couple you have I have a complete set that I took out of my 97. But to be honest if your going to change a couple you might as well do them all. If you put bezels on you've got to disconnect them anyhow.

Yes, I lived on Long Island my whole life. I was the last of my family still living there. My Dad is upstate in Harpursville which is north of Binghamton. My one brother lives in Las Vegas and my mom and another brother live in Florida. So I decided to move to Myrtle Beach The taxes and traffic were killing me. I love it down here. Of course it is all relative. The pay scale sucks here. But I did OK with my house up there and bought one here cash, so I can afford to make less. Of course the idea is to eventually make as much as I was, and then I will be really doing good! But for now my son is doing well in school. It is actually a very good school. The wife loves it here(she is from Jersey). And I love it too. I was riding my motorcycle two days ago in a tee shirt! I still don't have a boat since I sold the Powerquest. But for now I like having the bikes. I got my son a motocross bike and we are 15mins from a track and he rides every weekend. You only have time for so many toys!

Hey PQ Baby, I know exactly what you mean about the Faria gauges in your '94. I had the same problem with my speedometer and temp gauges on my 94 257. The smaller gauges are 2" and the Tach and Speedo are 3 3/8". I did the same thing to the dash on my '97 312 Formula. I replaced the stock recessed gauges with top mounted Hardin-Marine gauges from CP Performance. Good Luck!

Jus roamn, That's a huge improvement on the dash. Looks great!!! By the way who did your dash panels??

Thanks! I had Scott Signs in Grandville, MI make a template (decal) and I put it on before I installed the new gauges.

I agree!! HUGE IMPROVEMENT over the stock dash--looks like a whole new boat. I just purchased blue bezels and am going to buy the '97 gauges from Fast Forward. Thats interesting that the tach and temp gauges on both '94 Legends yellowed. I also found a new blue Momo steering wheel from Extreme Marine for $130. Still need to buy new drink holders (blue aluminum) and a few things for the stereo and I may be done for this summer. Anyone know what size the drink holders are in a Legend? 3 3/8 or 3 5/8?

PQ Baby, Make sure if you get a new stereo get one with the MP3 jacks and you can ditch all the cd's. Besides you can never listen to the cd's while under way anyhow. Also while youre installing all the bling check out the great deals Rex marine has on billet speaker grills.
