Need help, dash piece question...

[MrWizard]

@MrWizardI was waiting to unveil in photos when we pickup the boat.

Can't wait to see pics! (Can you remember to tag me so I see them?)

@MrWizard Sure thing and ditto. Only so many water related names to choose from so there are bound to be some duplicates. Great minds think alike!

I agree, there are some good names out there and 'taken'...but I'll borrow this one for as long as I have this boat.

And try not to inflate my already over inflated ego saying things like "great minds" lol

Looks like we're in the same boat. Hehe

I just ordered the vinyl today from boatus.com...

I say...you're in Maine. I'm in Pa. I'll drink to your families ritual and godspeed to your vessel.

@MrWizard - missed your first reply. Cheers and sorry for hijacking your dash thread hope it turns out how you want. On that front you could considered aluminum plate and giving it a brushed look with a flapper wheel or rough steel wool. It might get hot in the sun though.

@MrWizard I am in the process of modifying my dash. I am swapping the head unit with the no wake switches as well and I already fabricated the head unit piece with HDPE Polyethylene (Starboard). Right now this is a quick fix to get the head unit in and playing but I want to eventually do the whole dash with carbon fiber. Not sure if I will do vinyl or not.

Here are a couple of pics of it so far. This is at 1/2" but I might plane down to 3/8" or maybe thinner. It looks too thick right now. Will get some allen or torx drive screws to mount to dash.

Hash tag and all .. Sweet! I have my boat now but no rear lower seats cushions as the person hired for the job decided to pass on it not having done boat vinyl before but a new company has accepted the job.
