Center Consoles

[mirage2521]

I was talking to the premier yacht/boat fiberglass and wood guy in north fla about what I was doing to my boat, I mentioned re-working the console, fixing the holes, cracks installing all new stuff and he told me that in his experience it is easier and better/cheaper in the long run to buy a new pre-made console and install it. DOes anyone have any idea about websites or company names of people who might make replacement consoles? the wat he talked there are lots of manufacturers to chose from but I neglected to ask a for a name ???

Mirage - I don't know how far you live from ft. pierce, but Marine Connection Liquidators has quite a few consoles . . . both new and a dozen or so that were new but left outside for a few years. All were under $500.

There are lots of other places . . . you might also ask FPmarine if he has any.

just build you one out of 3/4 plywood and glass it inside and out. then paint.

The one on the right is from Marine Connection Liquidators. It's about $500 with the windshield.

Maritime Skiff makes some excellent consoles . . . . so does Contender. You might try calling one or both of these companies.

I considered that but my ability to make $$ far exceeds my ability to make a console worthy of my V20. Therefore i will do what I do best, make $$ and spend it ;D

Big Shrimp, nice links, I saved them all. Thanks a lot

[Blue_Runner]

No prob Mirage...hey my favorite is the one that is made out of an old refridgerator pictured above - just behind the one from Marine Connection Liquidators in BigShrimpn's post 8)

[reelapeelin]

Yeah, BR, me too, but I'd have to have a left-hand 'stead of that right-hand pull... ;D...
