I personally saw the boat at xt interior when I dropped off my bullet interior looks amazing Dave did a top notch job interior is really amazing as well really a head turner nice job on the resteration

Dave are the cockpit dimensions from 2000 on up to the new 38's pretty much the same? I've wondered why nobody has tried to get ahold of some new blank (06 and newer) driver and passenger consoles from Cigarette. Then they could pretty easily be glassed into the boat without much fitting required. I know a lot of the boat companies will pull some pretty big pieces out of their molds for insurance jobs that require heavy glass work.

They are different enough so that nothing is a direct fit. The hatch, for example, on the 2000 and up does not bolt directly to the older deck. I took a 2001 hatch and modified it (a lot) to fit then pulled a mold. The cockpit only shares vague similarities, the dash sections alone are a full six inches wider, a retro on putting in new dash bases, if you could even get them, would be way more work then just making one or modifying one from scratch and pulling a mold (still a chit ton of work lol). The windscreen riser on the newer deck goes all the way back to the rear seat as the 99 and older terminates at the front seat with a notch. Through the last couple restos i have become an expert of the differences and what you can and cant get away with. :cool: I'm not sure when, but Cig must have lofted new deck molds in 2000 and the again around 06 or 08 for the 38 TG |

I cannot take all the credit though, we will have some good photos to post on the whole project (start to finish) real soon now. You saw it on Thursday, we worked on it until midnight on Friday, Frickstyle was down today and spent almost 2 hours looking it over, and Glass Dave is bringing the painted fiberglass seat backs tomorrow (Sunday). The new cockpit interior design alone was a big project, then we got the go-ahead to redo the entire cabin area also! It is probably NOT fair that everyone in Ohio is braging about Bryan's new boat that he is yet to see in person. :party-smiley-004: XT |
:food-smiley-007:
What do we have to do to get some pictures???????? |
I was there, it looks good.

Pic of one of my dash caps and how it mounts. The entire assembly comes off with two plug groups of weatherpak connectors, the port are female and starboard are male so the cannot be mixed up. The dash was re wired and cleaned up quite a bit from how they use to do things, what a spaghetti factory lol. This cap fits directly over where the original face plate went and allows for a plotter/gps to go where the old compass was, the trim switch plate was trimmed off the old dash and re mounted in the same location.
