Re: A New Boat to Check Out
 

Just when I thought it was safe to look at "repairs/mods" again....I see this, MR. and I do mean Mister Bonefish, outstanding may not be enough props for this project!! I'm giving serious thought to my transom re-build, something simple and then this masterpiece for ideas! Beautiful!

Love that dash lay out. Are those pull-switch knobs and labels custom items? What do you think your hard top weighs. It's foam cored so I wouldn't think it would be alot. I'd love to go that route at rebuild time.

I can't believe this boat!!!!

OUTSTANDING!!!

Re: A New Boat to Check Out
 

The switches are actually push buttons with separate LED indicator lights below. The labels above the switches are a single "rub down" transfer applied to the dash before the final coats of clear.

The hard top weighs about 50 lbs.

Considering the excellent and trick things you've done here, I beg your pardon for this question...
The instrument panel appears to be set on a hinging prism of sorts that closes flush to hide/protect everything when not in use. Is that right?

Re: A New Boat to Check Out
 

That's right. The top of the console is basically three pieces: the rear and forward sections are fixed, and the instrument panel is mounted to the underside of the middle section which rotates via a 12v linear actuator.

The instrument panel alone.

Bonefish, Like Guiness -- Brilliant! Can you show some more of that movement and the actuator layout? That is really cool! :cool:

This boat is sick. Just had to bump it back up again. Dr. V if ever need a co-pilot, come pick me up from the South Harbor dock.
