    repower gulfstream

    Just went out today for pricing on repowering my Gulfstream this spring. Twin e-tecs, complete rigging including upgrading to digital gauges,( no installation fee included in price since I will be installing), just north of $25,000. I would also have to say $39,000 sounds outrageous.

    Repower

    Just wondering if anyone has repowered with the e-tec 135s. Talking with the rep I was told that a pair of these would be an equal replacement to my existing Yamaha 150 2 strokes since these e-tecs produce 148 HP. Weight is about the same (418lb) , cost about 2000.00 less than e-tec 150. My...

I don't know if they would do the whole job or not but I was pretty pleased with panel. Used contura rocker switches and seperate Blue sea fuse...

    Replacing access doors

    Thanks for all the replies. I have tried a few Plexiglas fabricators, thickness seems to be an issue. McMaster Carr I never thought of and since these are straight panels there's a pretty good chance they might have it. All panels will be changed so color match should not be an issue. Thanks...
