Sorry Don but this might create some new gift ideas!

'Just had my birthday. I will not say which one, but the 401Ks are looking better and better.

My daughter (#1) works for Boat/US and West marine and did she ever WOW me on March 23rd.

The old Misty is in her 33rd year and the helm is a mix of guages. All are different. Some with red lights. Some with green lights. Some with no lights. Some that just don't work. Misty gets worked hard and it shows.

So when I ripped open the birthday package after a long night shift what did I see? GUAGES! Brand new, spanking guages!

Speed, RPM, Fuel level, Oil pressure, Engine temp., Amps, Volts and outdrive position! All the same color and type!

Yea, I have some work to do but when you see the old Misty heading down the Lake you will know that she now has an instrument package like a B-1 bomber!

Thanks Striker #1. Dad.

Sounds like a great gift! What a thoughtful and in tune daughter you have there.

Perhaps you can share some before and after pictures for us.

I would gauge this present as a redline gift.
