I will probably get my chops busted on this, and normally I ignore cussing and stuff. But goodness can't we turn the word filter on for a few words? Do we really need that kind of language to ask for pictures, which I agree would be neat..

Welcome
If you are like me 'I can probably do that in a couple of hours an turns into a week project." If I was a contractor I would go bankrupt with my estimates. Anyway, when you get on the water enjoy, it will be worth it

Newlights,

depending on what you want this whole set is pretty cheap. I would recommend at least an rpm gauge and altmeter. You want the tach to make sure you are running in the recommended range for your motor.
