This is a custom milled and powdercoated 14" setback bracket with 5" of lift built in. Behind it is a 4.5" Stainless Marine Gorilla hydraulic jackplate with 7" of lift.

The Livorsi carbon fiber guages with yellow Mega rims and black bezels include 100 mph speedo, tach, water pressure, water temp, fuel, depth finder, and trim. The billet switch panels are made from 1" thick aluminum with the switch recesses cut into it so that they can't accidently get switched on. The Pro-Trim switch that looks like a turn signal operates the jackplate.

These are the "eyeball" type navigation lights. I also have a power rear LED anchor light. It goes up 4ft automatically when it's turned on and disappears into the boat when turned off.

Awesome pictures man, that is a beautiful boat.

A little off topic though what is the eve hight on that metal cover I am looking into getting one and was just trying to get an idea.
 
Took the boat out today and got it broke in. Then I had to kick the wife out so I could do a couple speed runs. Ran 77.4 on GPS and the same on the speedo. Very controlable, Nothing like a 21. I had the Hyd jackplate, but it liked it down 3-3.5" below the bottom. Any higher and it would wanna drop the nose. I had a stock 25" Trophy turning 6000 rpm. The best I ever saw before on a 24 with a 300xs was 74.8. I think the 18.5" setback is what did it. The raising of the motor only slowed it down. Here's some pics. I need someone to video it. My wife said "only the back was in the water" I took the speedo pic while driving with one hand. The tach is at 6000.

Randy- that is a solid speed for a 24' boat. Do you think 80+ is in the rig with more setup time?
 
Here's the power LED anchor light. Just flip on the lights and it automatically extends to 4ft tall. Too cool not to have!
