The samples I got had some problems. I am told they have been fixed and are in production. Should be soon! The pointers looked very nice.

Dean, I never got a chance to thank you for the second set of airguide grommets you posted over (after the cat probably ate the first one that went missing)
For anyone else finding it difficult to source these, I certainly did in UK, these are available through Deans website at a low price |

I'm trying to find out the status! Appears these lenses proved to be a real challenge. Maybe this is why so many said they can't make them?

I only see you are traveling at exactly 44 kilometres per hour... I'm still waiting on mine... Especially now there's condensation in my right speedo and I can't see anything on it anymore... |

Hi Folks, Here's what your Airguides would look like, if you had a pair of Dean's CB-4477's for your '72 thru '76 Ski Nautique.
In the photo below, you'll notice that we are traveling at exactly 27.5 miles per hour. |

Kristof,
We are behind schedule. The first batch was done incorrectly so it was back to the drawing board. I was told last week we are "close". Dean |

Dean, The white Airguide 725 face plates are really great.
They are a tad heavier gauge than the aluminum faces on the MPH 725's. But, I don't see that as a problem. Considering my mailman, it actually turned out to be a huge plus! I'll post a photo soon, |

Of course not. If you send them to me I will at least get the scans and make as I can. I will return them of course.
Thanks, Dean coolboats@classicboatwork.com |

Nope. The black faced one is script (cursive) and the 90-93 white faced one is block lettering.

Are the black and white the same script just different colors?

Theres the black faced "Correct Craft" script that was offered '85-89, the white "Correct Craft" face offered 1990-1993, and the white faced "Nautiques" version offered 1994-1999.

Yikes, 3 styles? Is one more prevalent than the others? Cost me about $150 to $200 per dial... Maybe a little less if the artwork is simple.

Dean, 2025's are the plastic gauges with the smaller dials, right? I have the faceplates that I can send you (3 different Correct Craft styles, actually). I still havent been over to check out those exhaust tips, by the way- I havent forgotten!
