I like the blue - i am not sure I like the black on the black carbon - also the boat has a ton of black and white - I say go blue especially since there are already blue elements in the interior. And... whoever that is in your profile is gonna be "pissed off" lol!

hey! I recognize that dash 😁😁


my .02 for what it’s worth. Are you planning to do blue highlights in the cabin and cockpit? I’d almost suggest going red and black with how the exterior logo and fairing is red and black. Or if you’re planning on doing blue highlights here and there and want to go blue gauges, I agree maybe do the lower brushed silver bezels in black and then do the large upper chrome rings. With bright blue (or red) gauge faces against a carbon fiber dash. That would look clean I think. Here’s my dash.






also, while I’m thinking about it, after looking at my pics. I would recommend if/when you install the underwater transom lights you also install a set above the water line. When we were doing our boat, my guy did this and it really makes a huge difference. Much brighter!! You can also isolate the switching so you can run each individually or in tandem.

That looks great !!! My cockpit has some blue in it with white and silver. Was hoping to tie that all in since it is damn near new didn’t want to have to redo it all

I see what you’re saying. I think the gauges I used would tie in everything perfectly. Only thing I’m on the fence is then do you go with black lower bezels to match the new black side panels and fairing or do you go brushed grey to match the grey in the existing interior? 1st world problems. Lol gonna look amazing no matter which direction you go.

You've finally made your avatar pic a reasonable size.

I was referring to the drives and tabs if there's any confusion.
Have no input on the dash and gauges. To many ways to go and it'd turn out good.

Ok I think I’m going to go blue carbon, black ring , chrome polished bezels that will put the polished Bezel against the dark carbon background and black ring to tie it together
