Re: Console modification.
I redid my large console on my 23 by cutting off the seat in the front door and closing off the back making a built in tackle box and a door that holds my fresh water hose. I must say that console you have there is ugly and needs major surgery which you have already begun. I agree with Trayder I would cut off the front seat and then cut off the front section of that front seat section and re attach it to the new front of the consol. That way you will have the 90 degree lip to use to screw into the deck. Then I would fill in that hole half way up the front of the console that serves no purpose that would also allow spray to come into the console and mess up your wiring. Then I would also fill in the back of the console and make either a built in tackle box or a hatch door to keep stuff from coming into the back. I would form a 4” bottom lip with a 90 degree angle to it to keep the general design going through out the hole consol. On my consol I spent tons of time re doing mine filling in lots of holes fixing and cutting now it’s just the way I like it. I went with a electrical box and a sliding door for my electronics. I leave the radio’s in but take the GPS and Fish finder out and the end of my trips.
Good luck.
