Joe,
I got a new rpm gauge but haven't installed it. Had the dealer leave the original orange dials (but took home the new gauge - its basically the same gauge but while and blue).
The morse controls were installed when i did the restoration about 6 years ago. I keep them and the dealer did all new wiring and dashboard key switch for me. Trim/tilt on the rocker i installed in the dash during the original restoration. Im old school love the Morse!

OK now for the best part - launched today.....it FLIES...but its so stable....this engine is unbelievable. Its super quiet but has a hugely powerful hole-shot. At 5200 RPM you push the throttle to 5800 and you feel the jump to WOT and unlike my old 2004 v4, the WIND IS LOUDER THAN THE ENGINE!.....at WOT you barely hear it....

so happy with the choice
