Need to have my dash panel made. Burl wood panel with holes and etched wording. Searay 41 2000.
What companies do this? I want to send them my panel and have them copy it.
 
It's been years since I did one but I recall a Southport Plastics in North Carolina (?). This was before internet but I would Google them and see what you find,
 
Mike I looked at the link David posted and they look real good if you strike out though here is another

http://www.custominstrumentpanels.com/boat.htm

I'm trying to find the company I used a few years back, they did a great job but weren't cheap!
I had every panel remade on my last boat.

Thank was easy:) I looked at their site I had a feeling they might have it. Nice call KiDa!

BTW Norwalk is a no go:( I'll call you later or sometime, no room heading to Huntington instead if you want to come let me know.
 
I used Aluminum and had it powder coated the panels are 6 years old and still look new.

Bill Mike wants to replace an existing panel to look like the original it was damaged not it not really an upgrade thing. This said I like how yours came out!
 
The main problem with my port panel was when I upgraded from a Garmin 3205 to the 740s and adding the FLIR controller they barely fit. But it still looks ok.

Dave,

Spoke with FP MARINE nice people, they make the original dash and will add whatever holes I need at no extra cost, plus they will upgrade the panel to a thicker gauge vs what searay originally used, pricey but worth it.

Thanks KiDa

Dave do you mean Huntington yacht club? I haven't been over to lylods harbor to see if the mooring ball was put in yet.
All things on hold for me Maddie fell Saturday and hurt her ribs, nothing broken,but she is on crutches.
 
Very sorry to hear about Maddie please send her our best! Glad nothing is Broken, if there is anything I can do let me know.
As for Huntington we will be going to West shore if Maddie is up to it stop by!
 
Bob thanks for posting the link I was trying to find their info, Mike that is who did my last boat shown in the picture I posted above.
 
Billy,

As often as you change out electronics I am surprised you don't use balsa wood and nail polish!!! ;););)
 
David, there will be no more of (buying new equiment) that for awhile!
I have to learn to enjoy the equipment I have.

Apollo 13 didn't have as much electronics as Wireless One! I don't think the Shuttle did either...

FP has the panel for our 215EC. At $175, not sure I'll do that upgrade. Maybe get some new switch labels...
 
That's funny JD, probably true. I know some of the engineers that designed the communications gear for the Apollo mission, including the Lunar Lander and the helmet communications. These guys were the brighest of the bright! I feel like a fool around them.
