How about this one?

Thanks Cameron,
I did find one a little closer to me in Delaware.
They don't come for sale too often.
Here is my console that I am restoring.

This is basically the last phase of my boat restoration!
Can't wait until Spring!

I will continue to post pictures as the rest of the updates take place.

Thanks!

Nick

Console work is just about complete!
Lots of cleaning, laying up fiberglass on the inside of this console to fill
screw holes and unwanted switch holes and openings.
Filling with epoxy fairing compound and sanding, lots of sanding.
Then priming and painting with Total Boat Topside PU Paint in Oyster White!

Tough to do in the winter! Heading Garage with a Propane heater is a PIA!
Hindsight is 20/20; Should have had it sprayed with Gelcoat but wanted to do this myself.
:lol: :shock:

Base of Console is finished!
Waiting for new console doors and seat from Boatoutfitters.com.
Getting these made in the original "Fish Whte" Parker colored starboard!
Should look sweet!
Stayed tuned for the final pics!

Is it going to fit out of the garage?

That was one of my issues i had to remove the htab bar on the console to get it in and out of the garage.

 

[Silversides]

It absolutely fits through the garage door.
Made sure of that during the restoration of the console.
If needed, I could have moved the mounting holes down far enough
in case i needed to. I tested it out and it fit fine. Plenty of clearance!

Here is the final product!
Ready to Fish.....
