A quick introduction
 

Hello everyone, I am Scott Cambra, some of you might know me from a couple other classic/fishing forums. For those of you who do not, I make instrumentation, especially for older boats being refit. Over the last few years I have made hundreds of panels for the Mako, Grady, SeaRay , Welcraft and even a few seacraft panels. Now, it seems I am getting phone calls from members of this site...Thanks!

If any of you are contemplating a new console or hatches, doors. Give me a shout, if I cannot help you , I am sure I know of someone who can. Also it turns out that Seacraft themselves are recommending thier classic boat owners to me for this type of work. That is really really nice, I appreciate that and am humbled to think they would send thier customers to me :D

I cannot wait to get to know you all, this place seems like a warm friendly place to learn about the Seacraft and it's Patrons.

Thanks again

Welcome to CSC, Scott. Nice talking with you yesterday.

I would like to personally vouch for Scott's work. He made a pair of custom "Mako 254 - Wilco Marine Edition" emblems for me that I gave as gift to a friend. They were better than factory originals.

He has also done a ton of custom electrical and dash panels for other guys and his work is first rate.

Scott,
I have seen your work on ther sites and have been impressed. I will be in contact with you sometime over the next couple of weeks.

About how long does it take you to produce a small panel with about 8 switches completely wired and with the LED backlight? I'm...just trying to plan out a timeline of when things will be completed.

I met with Scott yesterday at his headquarters down the street from me in Fall River Mass. What was supposed to be a 2min drop off of a panel I am having fab'd by Scott turned into almost a hour of great conversation.

Scott's work is impeccable, I have no issue at all recommending his work to anyone he is alos a very passionate about his work, I might even say about as passionate as Capt Chuck is about his Gucci boat parts.

Scott thanks for joining and look fwd to seeing you again in the future

couple weeks usually, I work on a system that is first come first served so I am being fair, today, it is about 2.5 weeks, but tomorrow it could be a 2 weeks or even 3 depending on how many people call me and order a panel.

Now, with Marine stuff, I am VERY VERY picky about how they are wired, I have automotive stuff too and that is done by my wife or another helper I have, but marine stuff is off limits to anyone but myself, Why? not because the others cannot handle it, but because if my hands did not test every single crimp, if I didn't shrink every piece of tube myself, I will not be able to sleep. You can run from a burning car...we all know what could happen if your boat goes up, I have you and your friends and family in my hands...so I do not want to have to second guess anything. so seeing I am the only guy wiring marine panels, it takes some time, usually a few weeks to get to a panel. If I am not wiring it,then much faster, usually a week and a half from today.


J, thanks for the kind words, dude, we could have talked all day haha. that's bad :D You iwll have to come up on a weekend day when we both are not running ragged and I can really show you some stuff.

Besides the Panels ay saw my LED lights....in the not too distant future everyone will be able to afford serious LED lighting for every application.

Thanks again J :cool:
