Check out the new dash
 

Ok, here is how it sits right now. I like the look, I don't know how it will be when sun is hitting it as it's cold and ****ty here still! :mad:

Let me know what you guys think.

Here is the old one first. Next pic is the new look.

New look.

nice job!

nice job, your throttles look great.;)

wow , you did a great job.

wanna do mine for me?:D

Thanks guys, I thought I'd throw up another pic of the switch panel, my buddy did a great job. The panels need a good cleaning as you can see in the pic but the whole boat does still.

Oh, and lotoparty ... Thanks, and NO! :D

Looks good. I think you should fly out and redo my dash for me.:D :D

How was the lettering done on your switch panel? It looks great. That's one of my projects for the year, but I need to finish the interior first.

Les

Mike ... that will cost you a bunch of beer ... Canadian too, not that watered down yankee swill! :D

Les, I had them done on a CNC boring mill. The lettering was done on the computer and then a software package translates it into code and it was cut in with a tiny cutter ... took a long time as the stainless is hard and you have to take really small cuts. Then the panels with lettering were sprayed with numerous coats of blue paint and then polished it off the panel so it would stay down in the lettering. I just hope it stays looking like that for a while, no big deal to pull the 2 panels and do every year though.

Fred, I'm sure yours will turn out awesome. I didn't fill all the stress cracks in like you did. That may be next winters project. I almost hate to get rid of the old girl when I've spent so much time working on it over the last year. Might have to keep it for paint and bigger power.

Did yours hit the paint booth yet?

Mil,

If you can get me honest to god "hockey beer", not that watered down yankee swill, down here I will buy all you and I can drink.:D :D

mike

Mike, I will bringing some good Labatt's products with me to LOTO. I couldn't make it for 3 days drinking watered down BUD! :D I'll have a couple cold ones ready for you!

Bring a case and you can drive the cat.:D :D

That should be bring me case.

ive been thinking about doing mine but everything is bunched together on one panel.

with my luck ide never get the switches , gauges and fuses wired back together right.:confused:

Looks good James ! Now I need a ride !

Nice job...oh how I love stainless.....

WOW, a really big difference from before to after. It looks GREAT.

Nice job. The satisfaction of doing something like that is a good feeling. Thanks for the pictures.

Wow Milord !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY nice!!!!!!!!1:D :eek: :p

Nice job!!! HUGE difference for the good!

SOMETHINGS WRONG...it looks to damn professional.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

very nice job. Sure makes one heck of an improvement, especially the new throttles. Wish i could make it to the tin fish saturday but its the mother in laws 60th b-day. once again maybe next time.:)

Looks great! I'd be a little worried about the glare, too. Just get some really dark sunglasses if it's a problem. It looks too good to paint. The controls and the wheel really update it...

Thanks for the compliments guys. I think it was worth the time and money in the end.

James,

Looks great, good to see you got it all together so well with that sweet custom look it has. I like the CNC'ed lettering. Glad to see all that effort you put into it turn out so well. See how well finding all that equipment on OSO works. How close is the rest of the project getting to the first splash?

Thanks Rob, the only things left to do are compound the glass, finish the teak and she's in the water! :D
