This regulator has worked fine for me.

I think im gonna put a pressure regulator off my pump. Is there a need for a gate or ball valve before the pressure regulator. Ive seen some installs that have a valve along with the regulator. Im wondering what the reason for having both?
Is there anyone that makes a SS pressure regulator. Im talking about the bypass type water regulators such as the ones like in this picture.

I think this is the new model for what I run. It has a max inlet pressure of 400psi and output range from 25-75psi

either of those posted should work. There are still lots of the older part # on the shelves if you go to a hardware/plumbing store...Try to get one that has the built in strainer.
To my way of thinking, any time you have a open hole below the water line it's a good thing to be able to shut it off somehow especially if you're going to use plastic fittings. (but that's just me). Here's my setup.

What's the deal with the hose going back out the transom?

That hose is a bypass hose. It's connected to a ball/spring bypass valve.
Basically when the incoming water pressure exceeds 15-16psi, that valve opens and dumps the excess pressure overboard.

Where did you get yours? Do you have a part number for it?
McMaster Carr carries them. They sell them for $45.21 and you want the one for 3/4" pipe size, and you want the one made for 0-300psi.

McMaster Carr's part #9763K12
just curious, why would you want a bypass? Seams like you would want to keep any extra pressure you could in the pump....
