Best Dash Gauges

[BADASS38CHEVY]

What are the best boat dash gauges ? will plastic lenses discolor ? which ones are glass lenses ? When running a whipple what other gauges do you run ? What are all the gauges that you need ? Do you need a drive temp gauge ? I dont want to run a smartcraft gauge.

What are the "best?"
Well.... These Nexus ones are pretty bad ass
Nexus Guages by Autometer (http://hp.autometer.com/products/nexus/index.html) I don't know if they make all of them that you'd need for marine use though..
Personally I like the Autometer Ultra - Lite series alot.. Silver on Silver (that silver is matching to a certain Pewter as well BTW)
Ultra Lite (http://hp.autometer.com/products/ult...solutions.html) Plus if you have a pressure driven speedometer you can order a matching autometer from Rex Marine. (not sure what other types he has that will match, but I know he has these)
Here's some other autometers to take a look at...

I had a close look at AutoMeter gauges and find them extremely nice. I chose to buy Livorsi and like them a lot too.
Other than style, I can't tell much difference between a few of the highest end brands -> AutoMeter/Livorsi/Fariah.
All seem to offer liquid filled, GPS, etc., etc.... features.

I just PM'ed RexOne about those AutoMeter Ultra Lite guages. I thought the Ultra Light had a white background ie silver on white and the "Silver" has the Silver on Silver.
I NEED to know this cause I dont want 2 different style guages.
BTW Dave - Check your email in about 15 minutes.
Forensic
I'm not a guage expert Forensic, I might have gotten that wrong.. LOL Either way you can order them with any face color you want I'm pretty sure? Not 100%...

How do the AutoMeter gauges hold up to water and moisture ? and what all gauges do you recommend ?

I selected Livorsi monster gauges with separate small smartcraft monitors.. I like the look of the Livorsi gauges, and with the smartcraft monitors I can keep track of fuel burned, fuel efficiency, range, etc....

[Steamin' Rice]

Almost forgot.. I think that most people recommend water pressure, fuel pressure, and boost gauges for blown motors..

[Tom Brown]

Seriously... how different are these things internally? I thought AutoMeter built the guts to most of the gauges we use anyway.
