This weekend we shot the white topcoat, it turned out great. We also painted the original switch panel. I installed new switches, fuses and Eddie Marine bezels. We will begin install of the dash components next weekend.

Fabulous thread, very inspiring to see you show that one doesn't have to be a professional to restore a boat. It naturally takes good research and a pretty handy person that most importantly is not lacking in passion for the boat and got the time. Hope you got some very well deserved turkey. Washington State Mirage guys obviously know this website, but for the rest of us at least it shows the basic specs. Guess they built boats 'till 1997. Btw, really like your Lake Chelan Poker Run.

We cut the dash for the Morse MY controls, and installed some of the dash parts. Most of the switches are hooked up (we are being very anal with the wiring for a clean install). I'm waiting on some more bezels and blue cup holders from Eddie Marine.

We still need to hook up the gauges and the control cables so it should be done next weekend. I've upgraded the Bennett tab switch to the indicator type.
I have attached a pic of the original black dash for comparison.
