I used a piece of scrap plywood sanded and stained. I put on about 8 or 9 coats of varnish and it looks great. Plus, if you screw up you're not out much, just time really. I would take your saw and trim out the extra pieces of fiberglass to make your hole in the dash square, making it easier to fit the gauges. In my opinion a speedo and fuel gauge are the two most worthless gauges on a boat.. I would have a tach, voltmeter, and water pressure for sure, maybe a water temp, and a floscan, maybe an hour meter.
