Thanks Tom, I will look around for some black starboard. I have never seen any, it may be more common out there than here. I might be able to find some black aluminum, but it would have to be thicker than BW used, to support those two MFD's, they weigh 15 lbs apiece. I guess I could try just painting that starboard, what kind of paint works best on starboard? It is pretty slick finished stuff.

Thanks Duf! I am with ya on the size of those motors, they are BIG. They didn't actually look bad on the boat though in person, and my other option was the Mercury's...they are even bigger! I am gonna step out on a limb here and predict 57MPH at WOT with 'em mounted all the way up like they are, trimmed in, and using the Mercury Revolution 4 props. If it only does 55, I intend to blame that lower speed on the Mercury logo on the props! Haha! Too much Mercury drag, Hg is, after all, a "heavy metal"! hehehe That will be my story, and I will stick to it :)
