GPS SPEEDOMETER!
Hey Yahoo,
Our good friends at Livorsi Marine supplied all of the RUGGED
Gaffrig gauges. The speedometer that you are questioning is
a new high tech unit that gets it's info from a GPS reciever on
the deck. No pitot tube or water pressure hose needed.
Sounds like you have been out of the loop!

since im out of the loop, you might want to purchase the tachs that you really need. The ones that dont really start measuring RPM till 4 or 5k RPM.
Just a thought since we dont race at 2k.
Sorry about the speedo, do you have a slave on the driver side ?

also as a side note, the drive indicators need to be in the middle of the dash at the very top. These are very important for the throttleman. He should not have to look down and to the left to see where his drives and tabs are.

Hey Yahoo,
To each there own, Everybody has different ideas some good some bad. Grant decided to lay out the dash his way. When you build another one you can lay it out in the fashion you like.

good point, good luck with the new boat.
With the sparco seats, you may want to put a layer of super dense foam between the seats and the boat. It will help with the vibration, and big bumps.

Hey Yahoo!
Thanks for the propeller offer! I will let the powers at be know
about them. If you have any other things that might be of interest to us don't hesitate to let us know! We are also having a OSO VIP stop by tommorrow to check out this bad ride.
