Default 43 ZR Dash Re-Design

We are wanting to change up the dash on our 43 ZR. Because its triple 700s there is little room for gauges to be moved around. Right now it has smartcraft display on the drivers helm which will be moved over to the glove box under the current Garmin 740s. In its place on the helm will be a Garmin 5208 GPS. In order to make this fit, we will have to move three gauges from the panel under the tachometers to the blank area in front of the throttles under the trim indicators. Also, the fuel gauge will be moved from that panel as well to the left side of the steering wheel to the right of the toggle switches (havent drawn this in yet). Ive attached a quick mock up I made on MS paint as well as what I have drawn up on Autocad so far. Also wanting to change the switch panel to eliminate some switches not in use and add 4 more switches as well as custom labels. Take a look and let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas. Thanks

You could buy 2 ipads + sea suckers + navionics + dry bags and be in for less money and have a useful, updated product. Just throwing it out there as another option.

I don't think I'll add a better GPS to a boat again. I'll keep one installed as a backup to portable solutions.
