Jason,
All your work looks good. But if I can offer a suggestion, I would add Chafe guard where all of your hoses go thru the box they are in. They might not rub now, butt when full of water they will. Just passing along some experience, IE Learning the Hardway.

yup, they are all protected, the holes in the bulkheads were drilled, saturated with a thinned out epoxy mix, sanded, finished with gel coat and then sanded and buffed so the finish is smooth and the hoses are wrapped for added protection. All the thru hulls were also saturated with the thinned out Epoxy mix twice and cured for a few days to prevent rot. Then the holes were filled with 5200 while installing the thru hulls. The worst is when you forget to drill a hole after finishing all of these steps because you have to start all over again for just one hole.

Where did you buy the new console & what did it cost?

Thanks

Console came from Marine Connection Liquidators in Ft Peirce Florida. I think they call it their "Maverick" Style console as it is a copy from a Pathfinder boat's console. The price went up a bit since I bought it a year ago I think is is around $500
