[No grave but the Seacraft]

So it turns out the center console I had planned for this boat doesn't exist. Who knew, right? The original console was the wrong size in every dimension for what I wanted so rather than narrow it, remove the front seat and raise the height I decided to build my own. I would have preferred to build it from 1/2" divinycell foam but since the sheets I bought earlier are already earmarked for the cap I decided to use 1/4" oak plywood instead. Also, I couldn't justify the freight charges to buy more foam sheets. I made a rough mock up of a console using some pink foam boards from home depot which wound up looking like an upright piano. I then tweaked those measurements to get a console I could live with. It is 31" wide, 24" deep and 46" tall with slight tilt to stern to allow for a more comfortable seating position for a person on a cooler in front. I ripped 2x2's diagonally and glued the plywood panels together. I still need to add the trim panel around the foot rest and toe kick, then I will round over the inside edges before adding a layer of 17oz. fiberglass. The 2x2's in the seams with have enough meat so that I can bevel larger radii giving it a more modern look with softer corners then I'll glass the outside. I also laid down a coat of epoxy on the deck to fill some of the print through and level things out a bit before sanding and fairing. Lastly, I glued in the bow bulkhead in preparation for fiberglass.
