All gauge restoration is done in house, with the exception of chroChris Craft Gauge Restoration Servicesme plating. All gauges receive the highest care and craftsmanship, as well as the necessary time it requires to produce a gauge you will be proud to install in your antique vessel.

It has been a while without a fresh post! We are still here and shining up those jewels in your beautiful boat dashes. 🤩
We are doing a lot of electric conversions these days. Mechanical temp, oil, and tach gauges into electric 12v function. There is also an option to change amps to volts.
Making these beautiful original gauges work with modern power while keeping the original look!
We have also seen a few sets come in for a refresh that were restored over 20 years ago. It is fun to see the older restos and how things have been updated and how far we have come making these look beautiful and correct.
I have been a bit slower getting things complete these last couple of years. I very much appreciate everyone who has been so patient with me getting your projects finished 🙏
Getting caught up! Let’s get these boats back on the water!
