So where did you get all the instrument stuff? I have been keeping an eye open but only found the odd little cluster of decals.

Go to Warehouse Hobbies site, think it was under Cosmetic or Misc. stuff. Cutting out the paper gauges is a pita but looks good when accomplished ! Use clear nail polish ! works the best

Oh man that is awesome! I still have a Prather 31" currently setup with the K&B .21 outboard. I have never been able to get that darn motor to run full speed without dying, thus it has never even had a full tank run. I have shelved the project. But your project has me thinking. How does your boat run? Got a speed estimate? Are we talking like Revolt 30 or Spartan kind of speed?

Are you making those gauges? Those are seriously cool. I have a winter build I want to use gauges and drivers on.

Cool build, Dan Chase has a Dumas 43 inch that would fall in to this category. I will pass this on to him.
