Garmin fuel flow sensor vs SmartCraft/MercMonitor vs ???

I'd like to add a fuel flow display to my 2003 Mercruiser 496 MAG HO.

Wow, starting at $10K? Is most of that labor?

It would probably just be solid black or blue hull and white deck.

I think I'll end up keeping it as is...

Now these are my kind of boats.

Unfortunately most of the boats for sale around me have ridiculous paint jobs. Looks like I'll be repainting whatever I end up with.

Removing graphics / repainting?

I'm looking to buy a boat, but none of the boats I've been looking at fit my tastes. I'm more of a classic solid color guy than yellow and purple flames guy... :)
