Great improvement IMO. Thanks, again, Ron!

I added Seastar Power Assist to my Latham steering. So much better now. Safer too I believe. Being able to throttle left hand and steer right hand easily when going fast is a big benefit for any surprises appearing in the water.

Good news today. Jason from Brand X is going to have seat shells hopefully finished being painted by the weekend and Mike from Fineline is working on the interior. Final rigging hope to wrap up this weekend!

Wiring is complete. No key switches, CZone works great. Just going to add some final touches on programming.
Will make some video demostrations when interior and floor installed. Stay tuned.

It's looking good Ron! Is that a 16" screen in the center with two 7"s on either side?

LMAO........Bob's got at least $5k in displays, but won't spend $3k to save 60#s. Can you split the readout on each display so that they each display a different function? Say have the Speedo and tachs on the main screen, trim indicators on the screen in front of the driver and map on the screen in front of the passenger? I know you're "the man" when it comes to this stuff......
