'89 Sportfisher dual console panel
Need some help guys.....
First piece of work I wanna do on my new boat is get rid of this ugly panel. First thing that would come to mind is just to strip it and replace with starboard and then have some nice panels made and install.......BUT.... As You can see from the picture...the panel is very oddly shaped....and I do not believe Starboard will work due to the fact that you cannot glue it together....or at least so I have been told Let me know if you guys have any ideas

Just build the base out of plywood, fiberglass, sand, primer, paint and then fasten the starboard to the plywood. Or, don't even use starboard. Make the whole thing out of plywood, then fiberglass, cut out the holes for the instruments, sand, primer, and paint...

I agree with Bygracealone!! That might not be the easiest way but would give the best result!!
To use starboard or anything like that you are going to have to some how level the space then add the starboard. How about removing the dash, sanding it, using some kind of putty to fill the cracks, and reshape the corners, paint and reinstall?? Maybe some 1/4 round wood under the edges for when you screw it back down? They even sell plastic dash that you cut and stick in cars, with wood like finish and stuff, would cover the old holes if you wanted to remove a gauge or something. Just a thought?

Take the time and do it the right way with glass. It shouldn't be to hard just a little time consuming...... but you will be happy you did it.

I do like the look of that....but I just don't want to have to get into painting and putting on a gelcoat....b/c then Im going to want to do the whole boat and I just can't drop that kind of cash......yet lol
I think I am going to take out the old panel....and follow the contour of the console with some starboard and then have some nice switch panels made for me....I'll post some pics when I'm done

Reason I was negetive about the way grace suggested , is it would take someone about as accomplished as Skools to do the glass work and figureing you was in Daphne, you would be near Stink. His father did some great work back some time ago with Starboard.
