New to forum just got a 1998 272 sailfish. Original power low hours, sitting on the hard for past 7 or so years. Redid fuel systems engines run great. Will be focusing on cosmetics all winter, new dash panels, electronics upholstery and gel coat repair on hatches. Would love to see some dash upgrades as I will be adding flush mount 12” screen all new switches etc, pics to come

Nice boat. I have a 99 sailfish myself. Last winter I redid the dash and added all new electronics. I have a garmin 942xs currently. Might upgrade to the 943 for the side scan features or even better move up to a 12” screen so it’s easier to read. Anyway here’s my current setup. This is before it was finished but it’s the best pic I have on my phone. I made a little glove box on the side to hold things like my wallet, phone and cover for the gps.

Nice i plan to put lowrance hds12 in lower left. Probably move 4 Yamaha gauges up to upper area and probably do some sort of glove box also. Then overhead dual vhf radio and switch panel for spreader lights.

I don't have any in my phone but can grab you some this week. I was able to squeeze a 12 and a 9 ray marine axiom in the dash.
