Looks amazing. I keep wanting to do this... but everytime I look at the jungle on the back of my dash it pushes me back to reality.

I had the service dept at my marina do it for me. There was NO WAY I could have done that myself. Even the service manager said that was a lot tougher project that he expected it to be!

looks great ! major appearance upgrade! anyone who is skeptical about being able to do this themselves shouldn't be intimidated, i just got done redoing mine and was a piece of cake the thing i did that made it no big deal was i pulled dash out then laid it on its face with everything hooked up still and took detailed pics with my digital camera then uploaded them to my laptop so when it came time to put back together i just took my laptop into the boat and pulled up each pic of the back of whichever gauge and put just matched it up. was no prob at all literally took me maybe an hr to completely wire mine back up. fountain are a little easier than a few of the other brands do to the fact that you can mount dash back in then easily get to the back of it from behind since the back of the dash isn't inclosed. so with a little labeling and a few pics was no big deal at all.

all together cost about 5k.... I started buying the parts a little at a time starting last fall, by spring I had all of them and it didn't cost me one big amount at one time. That way I could justify it to the ol lady as well . She bout had a stroke when I first told her how much it would cost for the project haha! You can't see it in the picture but one thing that cost me quite a bit more was going with the carbon fiber guages, they look sick in person tho!!
