I am working on my 1988 formula 272 dash set up. I have all new gauges are bezels. They needed to be laid out differently to fit. So I needed new panels made. Kind of on a budget so custom aluminum is most likely out of the question.
My question is....Anyone use Marine Marks before for dash panels? They sent me some samples and I really like one of them but I am afraid of the acrylic or whatever they make them out of. i have only been playing with the samples a few hours holding them agains gauges and bezels and such and they seem to scratch easily.....
Thoughts please!!! Before I spend $500 I would like to hear if anyone has used these!

[QUOTE=Baja226sport;3362370]they have a lot of stuff, and you might be hard pressed to find a dash customized for 500 bucks. You might be better off getting a stock one and modifying it.

thats what i am thinking use your current dash or find one and get a hole saw and cut out what you want. Or look around for aluminum blanks and make one. Just to get a factory one your looking at probably 300-400. Dont know what you want to spend on this boat, but I wouldnt dump a large sum into an 88.

Paint won't help, hole saw either. The layout of the new gauges will be different as they won't fit with the current spacing.
$500 is the price to have all of my panels made by them out of a material like stock but spaced how I need.
I was just wondering if anyone else used them.

I strongly advise you not to use Marine Marks. The quality of the product is extremely poor and the customer service when there is a complaint is even worse. Had a horrible experience, made complaints, sent pictures, still never recieved a refund.
