I have a complete gauge set that was to go in my Sunray restoration. The gauges are Faria Euro design. Totally different from the 5-inch Newport gauges in the boat now.
Now is there a big difference between performance from the GPS and pitot tube speedos ? I will have to change all my gauges, so deciding if it is worth the effort as, if it ain't broke don't mess with it, keeps popping in my thoughts on this one.
I have installed a new dual battery system, audio system, speakers, and a xintex gas fume detector system. Waiting for a Hook 2 -9 TS FF. This would be my last mod that I think I need.....lol

Pitot tube speedos are marginally better than a drunken wild stab in the dark as far as accuracy and consistency is concerned, whereas gps will give you an exact and reliable speed reading .

I installed a GPS speedometer in my pontoon. Great accuracy, no more clogged line to clear.
