They're Hardin Marine gauges, I got them from CP Performance. I also would love an aluminum swim platform but they're super expensive. The windshield could probably be remade by someone as long as you can give them your original as a template. You could get it done in white which would look good!

Thanks. I was checking out CP performance a little while ago. Thanks for the advice. I have been struggling to find the right parts and things I want. I have been looking for seats like yours, but haven't came accrost any yet.

I just found white gauges that look very similar to yours minus the colors. I honestly don't have a clue how to get them painted. I would most likely want red, but I am unsure. Blue looks very nice but that would be over copying yours, lol.

Would this be the type of gauges you used?

I've located a site for those seats. Thanks a ton for that. It will be nice when I get the money to actually purchase all of this stuff, lol.

These are the seats I found. I wit may there were more images though.

Whoops. Auto correct screwed that up. I ment I wish they had more images of the seats.

I too really like that dash setup. How did you get the Seebold logo in there with the white and red lights? Is that fabricated by laser? Do you have a digital file for the Seebold logo?

Our 21' Seebold is back in the water and running like a champ. Everything came out pretty well and and its nice to know its back to a solid hull.

As far as speed, that boat should at least crack 60 with the vanilla 454. I was thinking the 454Mag would be well into the 60's, and close to 70. We liked Mirage props for these...but there's probably better options now. You won't find a more efficient hull design and they're not overly heavy for their size.

Also be sure to give it plenty of trim. My 21' picks up a few MPH as its trimmed beyond the normal stop switch. Seebold's hull design likes a lot of air under it...so trim it up so its just running on the final 3' of pad and you may be happier with its performance.

They like to run like Seebold Champ boats with their nose way up high....like this:

Jman, the blue on the gauges are anodized trim rings.

Island, I had the switch panel made by www.teamconcours.com. He did a great job.

I honestly must be a nuisance asking question after question, but that's because I really need guidance into my boat restoration. I will try to look for red anodized trim rings. Thanks for all of the help.
