Console modification.

[Rich]

For some reason the center console on my boat was different from what everyone else has. It wasn't the "big" console or the "small" console; it was kinda like the "middle" (funny looking cousin that no one wanted to talk about) type of console.

I thought it wasn't original; however after years of extensive internet searching for the word "SeaCraft" I have seen two other's just like it. Apparently on 1972 23'CC this was the console used.

Well I have changed the console more to my liking as you can see below. The question is; should I flush mount all of the electronics on the existing face, or should I create some sort of recessed box that has sliding glass or something of that nature?

I don't have any electronics yet, and obviously what ever I end up with will determine the exact layout. I'll end up with all the typical gear, FF, GPS, VHF, etc...

Any suggestions?
