Paul, who did the interior work, that was pretty speedy.
Ok. I'm going to put a mechanical trim gauge in. So I'm not buying another trim gauge.
I have water pressure. Fuel level. Volts. Temp. Not sure what add here. Don't really want to gel my dash because the yellow is never going to match.
I could make a bezel for the mechanical indicator that covers the hole. Don't really need a switch panel. I think stereo remotes are kinda cheesy and I didn't plan on putting a stereo in if.
Idk. Give me some ideas people. There's a radius that starts about 2 inches from the gauge. These are monster sized 2 5/8 plus the bezel. The custom color gauges in Monster sized are 154.00 each so I don't want to waste the purchase.

With an outboard you don't really need any other gauges. If you had to do something a fuel pressure gauge would be about it. If you want to patch it Kornowski will match that color in his sleep.
Less is more. That's probably the best solution.
Haha...snow ball!In true Schiada fashion...... Some one off orange gauges. Took two months to get the sample and then the rest. View attachment 522891 View attachment 522892 View attachment 522893
Now I want to do something with the gel and fix all the imperfections. Fml.
With a 280, fuel pressure isn't a bad idea.
That's been my thinking honestly. I'm sure it can't be too difficult to add a sending unit or hose for a mechanical one. That's literally the only functional gauge I could add.
The other alternatives are.
A switch panel. Yet I already have everything covered. The boat literally has lights and bilge only.
Dana Marine makes a gauge hole cover. I've seen them before, they don't look horrible but they are obvious.
A stereo head unit. They have new head units that fit in a gauge hole and are Bluetooth. I really didn't want to add a stereo. I don't want speaker holes. I don't want a stereo without a sub and this boat really doesn't need any more weight. It's balanced perfectly now.
Or fill it. There are stress cracks here and there. The rub rail is old. I don't love the graphics below the rub rail. It might as well be capped at this point and just yellow from the rub rail down. The bottom has scratches. So a gauge hole would cost 6/7k. lol. I want to do it but it's my slow season and Christmas is coming. That will have to wait until next year sometime before I make any major purchases.
So fuel pressure it will be. [emoji106]. Lol.

Now it's time to hunt down some stokers at their little regatta. [emoji12]
Looks great...i expect to see it for sale soon.
I gotta put the stainless rubrail on first. I already have it. Then it's done and ready to sell. [emoji106]lol
