I just bought this:

Now i know I bought it and hopefully it will fit my boat? I read on here that it may? any advise will do. I know I wanted to buy the one with 3 gauges but everyone was asking a ridiculously price for it (over $300 dollars sometimes), it comes with 2 gauges, I know it would be redundant, all I really need is either a multi gauge, or a speedometer gauge would be cool...

I think I can just drill a "extra" hole up there and add it? what you think? thanks..

Any of the 2" gauges will work... but you will need the little paddle wheel for the back of the boat too. The wires are already run in your hull to hook up the speedo.

Basically, the XP to 96, or the SPI/SPX up to 99.... or the GT(i/x) up to the late 90's. (don't remember exactly when they went to the new style)

I bought the paddle wheel, Im still waiting for it, i got the gauges in, and waiting for the paint to paint the hood ( I went to 3 different places no one has a color close enough my boats teal paint), I ordered the paint online, looks really close. Im going to drill a hole in to my 2 gauge hood, and putting in a gauge in there (or maybe Ill leave it like that, since really, all I really need is a tach, speedo, and multi gauge..)

Im looking to where I put the paddle wheel (I bought the whole piece brand new for $42 bucks, I found it on ebay lol).

Ive been searching on here and googling it, but where do I put the paddle wheel?

There is a slot cut out in the ride plate for it. Look on the bottom of the boat. The flat black part that sits below the pump.
