Great job and nice boat for sure.
Where did you find the carbon fiber on the dash?

Thanks. I got the CF off Ebay. It's called 3D vinyl so it's textured. I think I paid $15 for a sheet large enough to do the glove box I made and the gauge panel. Still have some leftover.

Going from a 14x19 to a 14.25x21. Hope to gain some top speed and drop the rpm's down a little.

Little update.

The used prop wound up being slightly bent, bent enough where it vibrated too much to even use. So after talking with the seller, I decided to get it refurbished and was refunded $50 (basically half what I paid). Took a week and the prop came back like brand new. I used Atlantis Prop out of Cinniminson, NJ. Guys are very professional.

The boat has been running great except at wide open throttle. I'm getting some pinging/rattleing. Not sure if it's the octane, carb or what. I've been running regular gas so I might try 93 next time and some octane booster. I did adjust the secondaries and on muffs can see them opening and \fuel dumping into the engine.

Anyway, pic from last time out....
