Ya I thought the same thing well I'll be up here for good next month so I'll be having a 50x80 shop being installed so I'll put her in there and get to work .maybe I'll just move the battery up under the cc so it's easy to get to were it is now I have to remove the engine cover completely to access the battery

Madbouyz can you send me a few oics of your c.c so I can start brain storming the more I look at that console the worse it looks . I spoke to the guy who sold the boat to he said guy before him did it ,it's off a old seabird

Unfortunately all the pics I had no longer exist . It could take a long time before I'm able to get new ones . I'm surprised to hear that console came out of an old Seabird. They were very expensive boats for their time and I'd be shocked to see any chopper gun work in them .
If you go back on to the Donzi.net look around for records and brochures on the old boats . There are two different St T brochures you can look at .One is a light blue and white St T with a white bottom and red bootstripe and the other is a solid red one with white bootstripe . In both pictures you can see the console clearly.
It's just occurred to me that back in the old days when Boat Trader was a monthly paper publication you would often see ads from marine supply liquidators selling loads of bulk windscreens , rails , tanks and even center consoles amongst other stuff. Maybe a search around might locate one of an appropriate size without having to build from scratch. Just a thought .
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the chances that yours had a toilet in it . The picture where you show the two bolts protruding .. is that in the storage locker that's on the forward curved seating platform ? Are there just 2 bolts ?
I've seen a few antiquated marine heads in my time but never one that could possibly fit in there and under the closed hatch

This might be a little help ...

Yes the pic is from the hatch just in front of the curved part . it has cut outs that look like they were from a potty and it's about 12 in deep . also that scupper hole with the cap on it is right there . I remember you mentioning that Matty boy had the build sheets from these years do you think he could shed some light on it? And you read my mind as far as buying a used one that maybe close to the st my brother and I were looking at the seabird cc and seeing if we thought cutting that one up , but way to much cutting and piecing together . I was looking at the engine conpartment and love how the eng. Cover comes off and the insert arround mottor lifts out so you have full access .and I beleive the batterys are in the factory spot for my boat it looked just like where there to be I should have took a pic next week I'll post it when I come back and start going through all the mech stuff that I saw . but hey it runs starts on first bump

Amazing that they would be able to squeeze a head in that spot , not to mention that that platform it would bolt to isn't exactly thick and there's very little clearance with the front tank under it.
One of the issues that has to be considered with a 'new' console is that the old floor insert that it fits on has had the original opening made larger. I really wonder what happened to the original one . The St T console is very small compared to most everything else that's out there but who knows what a search could turn up .
Matty could only be of help if you were able to find a hull number and even then I believe that the only real information they reveal is the date of build , engine and maybe who they were ordered by/sold to .

I looked at the photos on donzi reg. And funny thing I don't think mines a 66 the pics of the ST 2 look more like mine so I ran the title # and it came back as a 70 home made lol . but in the pics of the st2 it has the air vents on top of grab some and looks like maybe those trim tabs the pic is fuzzy when I blow it up on my ph . but the hornet pic looks like there on there to. Do know I'm really lost but hey there's no doubt it's an st do you know any thing about the st2 ?

I don't really think there was any changes to the St T that warranted a designation number '2' , I think it's just how the information was loaded on that page that they wanted to separate the two different brochures that are visible . (This is different in the case of the Hornet which WAS eventually produced in a Hornet II and Hornet III models and they were different than the 'Hornet')
For instance , mine has the bowrail and the grab handles that the light blue boat has but it also has all the other common hardware of the first 'St Tropez' and the seller claimed it was a '66 but without numbers we'll never really know. .
It's not uncommon at all from what I hear that over there numbers are issued to an owner by the DMV/Coast Guard or whoever it is to legitimize an older boat that was made without a HIN and when the new owner tries to track down the number it comes up as a home made something or another .

Yup that makes total sense mine doesnt have the bow rail and I don't see any hole were it would have been mounted but who knows what happened all those years ago

And mine never had any vents on the deck either . Fortunately there had been no butchering of mine when I got it so I could easily see how it basically came from the factory.
Spanning the entire production time I don't think there was any different iterations of the St T , I just doubt that any of them were identical .
I'm pretty sure that Brownie ( who was there in the early years) has said before that whatever stuff was laying around the shop floor , they'd use . That's why 2 boats just one number apart could have different things on them .
