If you could only select one of these two gauges: which one?

I have room for one more gauge in the instrument panel.
The boat does NOT have a charging system, only a good battery for starting and lights when necesary. (well there is a solar charger to help keep the battery fresh between chargings)
There's an oil pressure gauge, Tachometer, and volt meter (to keep tabs on how much voltage is left) in there now, I'm thinking of either a CHT or an oil temp. gauge.
The engine is a P90, and it does get a good workout each time its run, also it's fed AV-Gas or "doctored" hi-test and theirs Phillips 66 15W40 avaition oil inside. No othervariables I can think of....Which one would you choose? Why?

I couldn't imagine running an engine without both an oil temp and a CHT. I would find a way to add a second gauge even if it is post mounted away from the other gauges. Oil temp may give you a hint but it doesn't tell you how hot those cylinders are getting. You don't want to burn up a good engine. A beer gauge sounds good too.
 
Here's a picture of the "Fun-O-Meter :lol:
