    1988 Overnighter dash rebuild and bulkhead replacement

    Uh yeah, I would have to suggest going with the starboard and letting Scott C do the cutting as he has the CNC machine to get straight accurate cuts. With mine, the cuts are only as straight as my hand is steady. Just my .02 As far as the west system goes, not real sure because I layed glass...

    1988 Overnighter dash rebuild and bulkhead replacement

    transom is solid as a rock. No flexing at all. Heres some more pics of progress today. I have to say that I am kind of dissapointed in minicraft gelcoat. After wet sanding, the match was not 100%.

    1988 Overnighter dash rebuild and bulkhead replacement

    Well, progress has been limited since the weather has not been cooperating. If it was sunny, it was 20 degrees out, if it was above 40 degrees out, it was raining. Yesterday was a good day because it was 70 degrees and cloudy. Finished up the bodywork and gelcoated the repaired areas. Here...

    Instrument/switch panel and switch labels

    I was going to add a water pressure gauge, but the boat did not have one when we got it so, it what it is now I guess. I thought water temp would be more important than water pressure. As for the trim, I always use that gauge to get the perfect running condition.

    1988 Overnighter dash rebuild and bulkhead replacement

    Yeah, mine was rotted to the point that it pretty much fell out. The previous owner did not take car of the boat at all, so it is easier to just replace the bulkhead and rewire the boat now before the season. I'm also installing a tilt helm, flush mounting the vhf, new dash panel and gauges...

    Instrument/switch panel and switch labels

    Bob, Yes the boat I'm working on is an 87 overnighter. I am replacing the helm bulkhead with fiberglass panels and gelcoating them. I am using 3/4 marine ply with 1.5 oz mat covering it. It will all be smoothed and gelcoated to match the hull. I will post pics under my thread while I'm...

    Instrument/switch panel and switch labels

    Yeah along with fiberglass work on the dash to fill in stresscracks and screwholes, and making a fiberglass bulkhead colored to match the hull. Those upgrades alone will make the helm area a completely different looking boat.. Stay tuned
