A pre cut console rehab plate with throttle and helm. Center helm and port or starboard.

Gelcoated flat panels; 4'x4' and thin - something like a couple of layers of 1708 in VE. I think a lot of folks could use them to speed up their own fabrication of stuff. Maybe a Hatteras white (I think it matches pretty well) and sell the matching gelcoat with it for post fabrication blending.

Was just looking at the nice restoration job on the International Marine boat.

How about creating a curved transom gunnel / cap for the outboard guys who add brackets to their boats? I think the curved transom is a lot more "gucci"

On the same note -- how about an integrated transom livewell for the FL live bait guys?

I will work on this and see if I can get something listed in the next week.

Some really great ideas guys, thanks.



I will be putting up for sale the fiberglass frame forms, the fiberglass form for the fuel fill cover, and also big trapazoid stringer blanks. I have the molds for all those already.

Shine . . . in this pic you have some nice rod holders on the side of the console. I'm sure people would be interested in some bolt on console rod racks like the ones shown in the photo above. You wouldn't even have to dress them up with rod holders. You could offer LED lights option for the underside.

How about electric reel connections that fit under the gunnels. Have seen some made of starboard with two stainless bolts that you can either clip to or use a wing nut to tighten down.

I like that idea, could use the same part as the battery switch panel

How about fiberglass strips so I can cover the ends of my NidaCore!?
It's a pain to glass the edges, trim, and sand and it's not level/smooth.
Right now I have to mold strips, flatten them, and cover with peelply to get a flat surface.

Could also use them for lips of hatches and joining sections, like under sole panels.

Would be nice to have rounded strips too to give the edge some radius.

You could also make gutter mold strips; just cut and fit, for the guys who don't want or need to make a hatch mold.
