Default Three spoke SS steering wheels

Thinking about replacing the original 15" destroyer steering wheel with a 13 1/2" three spoke ss steering wheel with knob. Have Schmitt & GEM in my sights, any comparison between the two & other brands I should be looking @ would be appreciated.

I have the Schmitt on my Flats Skiff and the Gem on my SeaCraft. The 3rd picture was the older wheel that was aluminum. I constructed the suicide knob from the handle of an old International Reel. Worked great.

I had the $80 one on my 23 sf an Edson on my 20 sf and some fancy Italian jobber on my 25 seafari. The Edson cost the most but it helped me steer the boat better.

Strick..wow!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a picture of a poor man's console...I'm planning on going with the GEM 13" or so down the road...15" a little too big..of course pending funds
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GETTING THE GEM for $85 +- bucks to include shipping?
The original poster and I would like to know...as well as others too!!!!
