I am working on one now. Using Autometer Gauges, Carbon Fiber panels in construction. Owner did not want to stray from the original style, so no gps in the dash. Should start assembley in two weeks.

The wood trim !!!!!! Its gotta GOOOOOOO !!!!! Beautiful job.

If you decide to go with a GPS/Chartplotter you can mount it in the middle of the doorway. It worked great for me.

Really? I like the wood trim, and left it there on purpose. It's a nod to the past and probably one of a few original items left on the boat.

I was seriously considering a wood floor, mahogany or teak and holly. To each his own I guess.

I like everything except that Janky white recall button............lol.........and yes the wood is awesome

Not a fan of the recall button either. May take it out....

It was just put there by the rigger, I was never asked my opinion..... :mad:

Its amazing the guy footing the bill gets no opinion, that just sucks,

^33

Just about everything with this build sucked, even when it's done and runs it blows up. Sweet!!!

I actually may have told him to install it, but wanted it kind of hidden out of the way, not on display, and especially how cheesy it looks around all of that expensive dash jewelry.

Dashes/Helms add up, you can probably drop $10K easy into a proper dash re-fit when you add everything up (include throttles, wheel, shifters, gps, etc. that's all brand new though).

And that's really not much when you consider the big fishing rigs probably have $25K in electronics alone....

Here's our 2015 42X dash

Here's a before and after of our 99' tiger after upgrading the dash panel, Garmin and compass.
