    Hey DieselMike, we are doing A LOT... everything has been stripped for a complete buff job, new (white) Faria gauges, new seats and carpet, painting the 225 H.O., undercoating the trailer and more...

    Have you checked the transom? The brown streaks coming from the top cap and tie downs don't look good.

    MMosher, I was worried about that... without going into it, it looks and sounds pretty solid... I am definitely going to keep an eye on it... Probably won't pull a skier from that side :)

    I'd throw the heat lamps on it for a few weeks while you've got it taken apart. The black streaks are definitely a red flag and need investigating.

    champman, these gauges were pretty much a direct replacement, they used the factory wires...

    ImpulseRods, what item number or part number are those faria gauges? Also is the third gauge from the left(top row) PSI or water temp?

    hotchops777 I don't have the exact part #'s, I got 4 of them from a buddy that never used them in his drag boat. I bought the tach and volt gauge off of Amazon... the third gauge is PSI...
