picked up a nice dog house for the boat yesterday, its in great shape and only needs a few mods to make it right. Im going to raise it about 6 inches and make a new dash so i can fit a 12inch screen in it. also was thinking about cutting the right side open with a hinge on it so i could fight a fish and get to the wheel/controls easier, what you guys think?
Great looking dog house. Not quit kernel tug, but in the same league.

For making mods to dog house (i.e. new dash) one technique I plan to use is to stitch and glue with ply and glass; wood screws or zip ties to brace until you get your glass on and can back them/cut them out.

This guy (Edward_Anderson) does a lot of custom fabrication of structures (poly/glass over ply) and says he uses a glue gun (lots of glue) to hold the ply forms together before the glass/ploy go on:
