It looks fantastic! I have nearly completely rebuilt my 1988 Sonic 30SS over the years also, but yours is a show stopper, mine is a fish boat. <gg>
I have had a few people do parts of the wiring and I am still not super happy with the results. I recall you totally redid yours, did you put in circuit breakers? I really dislike the stock fuses I have.
Do you have the complete rewiring diagram/parts list written up? If you do, I'd like to buy a copy of it off you.

Thanks for the kind remarks.
I finally, for real got it out of the paint shop!!!
!!
We put the engines in & cut the 6" holes for the new tailpipes w/internal mufflers..... only to find they would not fit!
The good thing is Jan @ Lightning said no problem. Take new measurement & he would remake them.
They were supposed to be shipped back to me last Friday. As soon as I recieve them I can install the drives & steering.
On installing the engines I found a bad wire in the main boat harness. I had purchased two new main harnesses off Ebay while the boat was in the paint shop so I proceeded to replace both harnesses (after the engines & headers were in. Gads, what a pain!! Rewiring again.
Last week my new Keith Eickert Dual gauges came in... (four gauges in one).
Great price also- complete gauges & senders for all displays for twin engines... $250.00!! These are perfect as I want to install my GPS display IN the dash, these gauges make that possible. I also do not need a GPS speedo because of the dash display so I saved more than the gauges cost!! That pretty hard to do usually.
All the pictures taken so far are without the final pin stripping & 7 gallons of clear coat. I will take a few pictures tomorrow & post them as soon as possible. Thanks for the inquiry. It help keep up the energy.
