Re: Ian's TNT Build
Your build is looking good. I used a Teleflex no feedback system on my TNT (built back in 2010/2011 - see the "Another TNT build" thread). The boat has a 25 HP motor. I know a no feedback system isn't really required for small motors but I like it.
A comment about your dash height. Remember that you will have some seats in there which will raise you up and give less room for your legs. The bottom of my dash is a little above the bottom of the coamings and there is enough room for me at 5' 9" but there isn't really enough for my son at 6'. Something to think about.

Hi Lee, thanks for the feedback, I am 6'6" so this is very relevant. I have attached an updated picture of the dash showing the contour on the bottom edge. I had not yet made the cutouts on the bottom edge in my previous post. It is definitely a tight legroom situation under the dash so the notches give me a nice pocket for my right leg. I made sure to get a wide piece of mahogany so I could cut out some legroom on either side of the steering wheel.denbrlr wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 9:18 pmA comment about your dash height.

Also, because I put my gas tank up front I had to cut out the left side enough to allow the tank to be pulled out from under the dash to be refilled.
