I agree with all, and I also like the starboard its a much better option!
When I made my dash I went to a boat yard and picked thur there scrap pile and got one to do the job for $10! I then bought 3 sheets of it and did the whole boat in starboard! http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/album94

Starboard is the only way to go.
Might i suggest sealing the cut out too once you cut it, with some resin, not like its going to get waterlogged or anything, but i like every opening in my boat sealed from the elements to prevent anything from happening down the road. i plan to pass mine down to my son as my father has done to me.

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.
