Not sure about the new vs. old 240 Sundeck. As far as the 300HP motor, it depends on what you want to do and your personal power requirements. Some people want to go fast and have a lot of power and some are satisfied with adequate. The 300HP woul

WRC drivers have always impressed me more than F1 drivers. The car control skills they possess are unreal. I've spent quite a bit of time on autox courses and racetracks, and I'd probably make about a corner and a half at high speed before crashing.

By the way, it does not use that much salt. I use about 1 $5.00 bag a month to treat 150 gallons per day.

I saw Nordskog also has analog GPS speedos. Those might be the simplest solution. Looks like they have their own GPS receiver, so probably not much difficulty for installing. Looks like you have several options here.

Yep, confirm proper grounds to each gauge first. 2 simultaneous sensor wires breaking, not impossible but highly improbable.

As with anything some swear by it and some say its a waste of time, especially for rinsing the motor. I use it, more so for getting the salt spray off of the boat, it does seem to help.

The interesting thing is, if you can replicate it, is that you can get a different reading on your MPG gauge.

My Regal bimini handles 40+ MPH no problem, but it also seems to be slung with poles that are less vertical. The straps hook to the windshield and are only 18 inches long. I can't tell in the first picture if your rear poles are the adjustable kin
