boat im looking at is a predator. its a 24ft superboat knock off. the dash where the gauges and shifter are, is just like a box thats bolted to the hull??? how bad would it be to glass in a dash. i would like to make it an extended deck to run OPA just bring dash back another 2ft or so??? any idea what to do??? how do these guys extend deck and run just 2 seats in boat??? want to redo whole boat so let me know thanx chris

you are wanting to make the just a three man setup? Is the deck flat or does it have an arch in it?

the deck comes up a bit if you have an email i cans end you pics?? thank you very much youll see i just dont think the fiberglass box mounted to the hull where the gauges and steering are would be solid take a look.

this is what i want the dash to be like my boat comes up about the same let me know whats the easiest way to accopmlish this heres a link

go to link on side meet da boyz, go to the undertow boat at bottom P6 that looks pretty simple no???is that class or aluminum or what??? the three sit down bolster would be cool or even just two seats and keep the back bench just want dash to come across whole boat like the undertow boat Chris

I'm not sure if theirs is aluminum or glass but i suppose you could do it either way. Of course my choice would be glass . I would just make a flat foam cored piece on a large waxed piece of Formica and cut to fit. If you wanted to get real slick cut the formica and set it up in a large "L" shape and form the deck and dashsection at the same time.

im def not a fiberglass guy dont have much experiance with it. was thinking about a peice of aluminum could make it an L peice as you said my uncle is a tin nocker. do you think someone could make that up for me out of fiberglass??? any idea how much??? im going to be painting whole boat so i will do finishing work thanx chris

That undertow boat is a Corsa 26. I like the way they did the dash. If I were you I would have your uncle bend it up in tin and use it as a mold and glass inside of it. Im no glass man either but im pretty sure it would work. Hey Chris, post a pic of the boat you got. im curious. Ray

this is what dash looks like now i want to stretch it back need help anyone??? ideas??? this is a pick i was sent

this is what i want dash to look like. lookslike one peice off metal that was bent at end for gauges and steering wheel????? anyone know????? please help what kind of metal??? stainless would be tough but dam% heavy heres a pic of what i am trying to do
