Yes, I have taken it to Catalina twice. It is a great lake boat, not that great on the ocean with the ground swells and chop. The Spectra was terrific, I miss it.
Bullheadbully just put a trick set up in his daytona. Should check it outThere are adapters.. I haven’t gotten that far yet and have just started looking into it.

Unless it was done by Racey...but you better know whats since since he wired them in all white aircraft wire.With that said...you ever climb around and check out a standard production 70's/80's Schiada?? They weren't much better....lol
Excuses, excuses.My boat is a 1998 and the wiring is freaking gangster. No freaking rats nest at all. Super clean. Would post a pic but the cover is on and I am drinking my coffee.

Sorry I had to pack for Havasu didn't have time to go crawling around in the boat.......[emoji16][emoji16]Excuses, excuses.
Roger!! I was talking about the dash & gauges. I thought you were discussing a glass panel. I musta read it wrong. Sorry. Paul just put in a real nice set up on his dash.He is running new power with different EFI's.. These are old school so the trick is to try and get an adapter.. and if that doesn't work then, I'll call AEM and get a new EFI system for the motors and have Alexi put it on there and dial it in.

There isn't anything specific to the "mefi" series of ecu's that I've been able to find. The type of converter that I posted the link to, ties into the 10 pin, or the wiring that would normally run to the analog gauges.
So can we expect it to read "Booty Shaker" on the transom too since they are mounted under the back seatWell there is a lot of things stuffed into a small
Package when you put twins in a 27. As Cole Trickle eluded too this is on par for the era. Eventually we will bring it up to modern day specs.. one thing at a time.
The boat already had four subs across the rear bench and four batteries. I can weigh it all and get the numbers, but I’d guess it at a 150’ish. Which honestly from a Performance standpoint I’m not happy about, but that’s the price ya pay if you want the Boom Boom all day and all night.
Dave , and everyone else in this thread , don’t take this the wrong way or assume ANYTHING, but I’m just curious only curious, why is this one called the “holy grail “? I’ve worked for powerboat mag in the 90s have raced offshore , and had some awesome boats , witch a few were pretty close to one-offs , and can’t figure why it’s being called the holly grail. Don’t get me wrong , she’s awesome and I’d be happy with her , and Hallett have always been on the top of my favorite west cost list . This one is super clean and the updates are pretty bad ass.
It wasn’t supposed to be taken literally, just in fun.
A prior forum member would spam his boats as the holy grail. RD’s Hallett was one of them and RD kept the phrase going. It’s one of those jokes that sticks amongst the forum.
I kind of figured it was supposed to be a joke I really didn’t take it literally but I was just being inquisitive definitely wasn’t trying to offend anybody or make anybody think I was being Mr. precise, but thanks to clear up good to knowIt wasn’t supposed to be taken literally, just in fun.

My wiring looks nothing like that. Somebody’s been in there “fixin shit”.

1993 and all original. You can see some stuff that was added over the years. It’s all coming out this week for new gauges though.

Nice, I looked for pics of my 89 vector gauges before I had everything ripped out. It looked as clean or cleaner then this. Dave’s shit was a rat nest for sure not done by hallett just saying
My '91 looks about like this.View attachment 620101 View attachment 620102

Gun rack underneath...very utilitarian...for the trips through the Channel...
Are you leaving them in there?I think those are actually for water skis.. lol
Or are you leaving them in there?
I had planned on it. I don’t think I have any reason to take them out?
You might have a couple more kids with all that going on down there.
With all the red it does have a French whore house kinda vibe.. .

I dig it. I would put some sort of portable fan down there to keep it cool.
RD will be naming the boat Moulin Rouge Too
It has a hatch, but I might put some fans in there as well
