Someone with a cadd file programs it right into cam, and the water or laser jet cuts it out in seconds.

That's what I did. Designed the layout in Unigraphics and then sent the design to the machine shop. 45 minutes later it was all cut and bent!

The finished product. I am also working on some other designs for when I do a full wrap on the boat!

Russ,
Nort had several panels made for his 382. He probably has a few left. Check with him first.

The panel is at the machine shop to be cut....I have another idea. My gauges are white with red bezels. A couple of the bezels have minor cosmetic issues.
Have you seen Fastech's the last couple years with the color dash panels. I'm thinking of going that route. My boats primary colors are red and the dash would look good like that, but I have blue accents as well and prefer that color. How would the white gauges look with silver bezels on a blue or red dash?.....comments?

I've done alot of panels - here's a 311 Formula, 27 Advantage and a Cigarette Bullet from last year. I use .125 aluminum and have everything water jetted. For design work, I'm using Solidworks

well, I'm waiting on some color samples to arrive. Tyler Crocket put me in touch with the guy that claims he has been making all of Formula's dash panels the last couple years. If I like what I see, I'm going to be ordering all 5 panels from him. These are the colored carbon fiber panels like they put in all the new boats.
