Same reason you never let an auto mechanic work on your boat!

OCD - You should have Pat do it for you, it's 1/2 way there now, so might as well tow it the rest of the way down and get it done right. You know he'll treat you right on the price and do an amazing job! Just keep it classy and "resellable" cuz you know you'll be buying a 33' in a few years and you don't want to have the same (potential) issue that SL had - although I personally loved his paint job!
As for the water pressure gauge, where is the sender located? I used to install them up by the t-stat housing, or down low in the block and run a full mechanical gauge - so water line all the way from sender to the dash, don't do a mechanical / electric, not as accurate or reliable.
For the empty hole, do you have a clock? How about oil temp? Or drive lube temp? There are a bunch of valuable gauges you can install - the more info the better!
