Default What Gauges Are In Now ?

Had Gaffrig Or Livorsi For Years , Lets Face Autometer Makes Most Of Their Stuff , Thinking About Straight Up Auto Meter Platinum for my 32 skater. Only Had A Few Issues With Livorsi , Had To Tap On Them A Few Times To Get Them To Move , But Other Than That No Issues , Just Feel The Name Is Now Old School

I could not disagree more. Livorsi gauges set the standard. Many boats for sale will advertise that they have Livorsi products. It is a selling point that increases the value of your boat. Ever see an classified baot ad that says Autometer gauges in the boat?

I have to disagree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gaffrig is still the BEST gauge ot there, and autometer does not make Gaffrig !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Autometer makes livorsi and livorsi copy'd the housing from gaffrig with the diffrents ,,that livorsi are not 100% waterproof and Gaffrig is !!!

Gaffrig is still made in house ,,exept for some of the senders and the aluminum parts !!!

So Gaffrig always is ,was and will be the #1 GAUGE !!!!!

But ,,everybody can use what they whant.
I think alot of people are being missled my Livorsi and actually think it is Gaffrig ( or vise versa ) ,but GAFFRIG is GAFFRIG !!!!

I've spent thousands of dollars in the last year with new gauges from Lav. In my opinion, they are less then quality. Gaf is better in my opinion, however, they don't have the look yet. Yes for some reason, it is a marketing value in a boat, thus the reason I purchased them. However, given the choice again, I will use something else in a heartbeat. Over and over I have had to spend money to R&R gauges that were new and went bad in a sec. Yes, Liv sent them to me after hassle, but I still have to pay to R&R them. Why should I have to do that. I can understand out of 25 gauges maybe one being bad, but I have had to replace sets of them 4 separate times now...and still the speedo GPS does not work along with one oil pres gauge. I'm sick of them and will never use them again...EVER
