It all depends on your budget and how much time/effort you want to put forth on installation. As I mentioned in your other thread, I was happy with the results I got from Lenco tabs on my 20' Baja. Danas or small k-planes would be great, but expensive and much more difficult to install. There's very little free space on the dash on that boat so the Lenco indicator pad (switches and tab indicator all in one) helps there too.

Here's a couple of great options to consider that I believe are a better quality product.

I have a set of 280's that are take offs. Look brand new except for a couple paint chips from being moved around in the shop so much. Have pumps, lines, everything you need except the switches at the dash. Great upgrade for that boat.

PM me if interested.

where's george yourick (sp?) when you need him...small boats going 100 were his specialty...
....i'd just go with bennet's, but not mounted parallel to the bottom, i'd mount 'em straight across, so the outer edge is the first thing to hit the h2o...heck, call reggie, it's his company now!
