Anything but Livorsi. They are about the poorest quality on the market at the highest price and no parts available...

I am going with a networked digital system using a garmin chart plotter and fish finder that accepts NEMA 2000. I hate the way the gauges take up valuable room when 1 screen will do everything and I think it really updates the look.

I just bought a full set of the new autometer marine gauges.
The seem to be of good quality.

I think they might make marine gauges branded for others too.

I've used auto meter on a previous boat and will be using them again when I update the dash of this boat. 1/2 price of livorsi and equal or better quality

I did all new autometer platinums a few years ago. They still look and work great, would buy them again. I believe for everything here, including GPS speedo, I was all in for just under 1000 bucks.

X2, I bought a full set up for twins from Livorsi including many additional besides what is the typical gauges. I would not buy Livorsi if I was to do it all over. Like already stated poor quality for what tthey cost. I would go the Autometer route, they apprear to be a great product at a very reasonable price.

Hint: it isn't Faria or Teleflex

Livorsi is really the only choice IMHO
