Still waiting on them to finish.

I decided I wanted modern gauges using a Mercury SC1000 tach and speedo instead of the four working original Yamaha gauges. That meant two empty holes in the existing dash panels, so I ordered new ones from Sue. Although they were pretty expensive, I'm also happy that the switches are now lighted rocker switches instead of the mismatched chrome plated pulls.

The shop also discovered that the Mercury ignition panel was smaller than the Yamaha, so the hole cut into the console fiberglass was partially showing behind the panel. So that meant a rushed trip to the woodworking supply store for a 1/2" thick mahogany board to serve as a mounting plate. The shop said they would cut it to size and use a router to somewhat match the other wood panels on the console.

They're also planning to sea trial the boat because I specified a stainless prop. Of course, thanks to this forum, I was adamant that the motor should be mounted two holes up.

So long story short, they're still working on it.
