Re: Replacing center console
HA MY SACRIFICE
I ALSO OWN A 23 WITH THAT DOOR IN THE FRONT END OF THE CONSOL. I LOVE THE CONSOL BUT HATED THAT LITTLE SEAT SECTION IN THE DOOR. I’VE BEEN REDOING THE ENTIRE CONSOL. REMOVED THE SEAT SECTION ON THE DOOR AND MADE IT FLUSH BY USING FIBERGLASS AND EPOXY NOW IN THE PROCESS OF PAINTING IT HAS TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD. I ALSO MOVED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE CENTER OF THE CONSOL AND I’M PUTTING THE BINNACLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I ALSO FILLED IN A BUNCH OF HOLES AND ADDED A BOTTOM SECTION TO THE BACK END OF THE CONSOLE UNDER THE WHEEL WILL BE PUTTING HINGED DOORS TO GET INTO IT. LOTS OF WORK BUT ALL IN ALL I REALLY LIKE THAT FRONT DOOR AND WANTED TO KEEP THE CONSOL. IF YOU ARE NOT INTO THAT TYPE OF LABOR YOU CAN CHECK WITH ANY GOOD MARINE FIBERGLASS GUY TO RE DO YOURS OR HAVE HIM MAKE YOU A NEW ONE. OR YOU CAN BUY A CONSOL FROM MOST BOAT MANUFACTURERS, OR YOU CAN CHECK WITH MARINE HARDWARE STORES. HERE IN FL. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PLACES THAT YOU CAN PICK UP SECOND HAND CONSOLES OR BUY NEW. I WOULD SUGGEST SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE BUYING FIRST.
