Default replacing dash

I made this template with a piece of 1/4" plexi glass. I was going to paint the backside black. Well, my jig saw blade melted the plastic as it cut and it was a pain in the ***. Finally, my blade got melted stuck and I broke the plexi trying to free up the blade. So it became a template instead of the final product.

Now, after fitting it to the boat, the depthsounder is too deep and bumps into the helm where the red circle is. So I can just cut that out a little, but before I do would like your opinions on the layout.

What layout would you guys do... What type gauges and what locations (I was thinking two 4" gauges top/bottom)? What material (the plexi doesn't seem very durable)?
