New Dash Panel, need opinions
 
I am in the process of creating a new dash layout for my Concept 30. Pictured I have the template I made on Saturday. The more I look at it, the more I want to move the radio down and put the Concept logo on top (basically flip-flop the radio and logo). What do you guys think, Radio on top or in the middle?

Agree. Swap radio / logo.

Remember to keep enough room so radio faceplate does not hit circuit breakers when you flip down the faceplate.

Here it is fitted in the boat. I had originally thought of doing it blue to match the wheel and arch (which is being powder coated candy blue) with silver lettering. The more I look at it, I am now thinking white with blue lettering? What do you guys think on color??

White.

White if you can match the rest of the console.... Are you going to take the bezels and have them coated to match the wheel?

They already are....... The controls are being powder coated as well. There won't be any gauges on the new panel. All gauges will be an the panel with the wheel. The GPS is smart craft enabled so it can show me all of my gauges if I choose.....

The reason I was thinking blue is because the arch, bow rails, seat base, controls, and grab handles are being powder coated candy blue (same color as steering wheel.

Does the boat have any graphics? You could do it in white and do something to compliment the graphics along with the name.
