Marunr attention

[Realgun]

Realgun,<br />I read your project post with interest. You have the same boat I have, except mine is an I/O. I bought mine brand new in August of 1987, and it has been a great boat. I'm curious what you did to re-upholster the damaged seats and "top areas". I have always kept mine inside, and it is in good shape except where my kids grew up climbing in and out. Also the operators seat could use some attention. I want to stay with the same color scheme, did you do your own work?

Actually I bought new pedestal seats as the old lounge were trashed. The area around the boat I have just painted the wood and installed it. That stuff was sun damaged and cracked. I might just leave it as it doesn't hurt anything and I am getting lazy now that i can use the boat!<br />The seat cushions were reupholstered locally for $300 all 5 seat bottoms. I goofed as I am going with a red theme and I got them done in blue/teal.<br /> Oh well I might get a sewing machine and redo them myself found out it not all that hard.

That seems reasonable. How much did you have to pay for the new gauges? I like the way you rebuilt the dash out of wood.

I got them for a bit more than the Coral guages. <br /><br />They are not avaiable from iBoats but you can run a seach and you will see that the price is about the same everywhere.<br /><br />These Pro red are not as avalable as the other series.<br /><br />Total was 121 and shipping I got a speedo, Tach (not seen as it will not work with the Force and I knew that), Fuel and Volt. Also got a trim guage directly from faria but don't/can't find a sender. 14 dollars wasted. The tach shown was 29 dollars from Great Lakes Skipper and was the only tach that I could find to work with a 20 pole alternator.
