Center console cabinet door replacement?

kmirise · #1 05-17-2005, 05:21 PM

I'm looking for suggestions on replacing the cabinet door on the helm side of the center console on my '85 23. The opening is 29 3/4 wide and 22 1/2 inches tall. Is there a manufucturer that makes pre-made doors that I could use? I'm open to suggestions on the best material to use too? Maybe starboard for the low maintenance? Teak for looks?
Thanks in advance!

WHATS UP WR, MY 20'CC HAS STARBOARD DOORS. I LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE LOW MAINTNANCE AND VERY DURABLE. I WILL TAKE SOME PICS OF MY SETUP SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

I'm still looking for doors if anybody has a good suggestion? Maybe the OEM part would fit from a current model SC or Regulator or Mako or something?? Anybody tell me where I can look?

I'd do something used, too, if somebody has one to part with that looks decent?

Thanks.

This manufacturer was just posted by another member in another thread

Looks like they do custom work

A friend of mine had some hatches made by someone in FL (I think) He's real happy with the work ... I cant offer an opinion as I have not seen them yet. I'll see if I can find the link for you

I constructed a starboard frame holding 2 sliding doors made from plexiglass for my 20'. Each door slides to give access to almost 1/2 of the consol and can be instantly removed for full access. I also installed a starboard panel in the consol to mount the electrical panel, radio and all switches out of the spray.

That sounds like a great solution, and I'd be happy to have something like that. I just don't have the time and skills to do a quality job, so I've been looking for a commercial solution. I sent a request for a bid off to the manufacturer Scott mentioned.
