Does anyone have or able to get some detailed pictures of an 1985 ski Nautique dash gauge area? Would prefer original unmolested dash. Reference section is too hard to see the details. Feel free to message me. We can use that or email or text. Thanks!

Not the best pic but it shows the other side of the steering wheel a bit.

Zach just did a beautiful job restoring his '85 dash. Maybe he will see this and post pics. Im sure someone can give you his contact info.
The dashes above look great as well. |

We're both the steering wheels pictured above offered on the 85s?

Why are some dashes black and some not?

The black spoke wheel (above not mine) was a later 85 option I believe. The correct early wheel (Similar to my black spoke and the chrome spoke ) was smaller and actually had leather of some sort sewn onto the wheel rim. It also had less dish than the wheels pictured. Mine was rough and I found this one at a swap meet. The original wheel was actually a Teleflex supplied piece.

Rod, the 85 dashes fade in a weird way. Some turn shiny like the one above, others turn a terrible shade of purple that looks like old window tint. They all started out nice and black.

Also - those speedo's are not airguides right? Look like another brand.

Airguides, just about the ugliest ones they made and they also didn't say Correct Craft on them anywhere.

Does anyone make a replacement dash panel? Your looks amazing! The steering wheel posted by TRIP is what is shown in the brochure.

Wow- those look like they would be impossible to find. I have NEVER seen that style before! And you know me with gauges and airguides...

85 was a weird year. Early boats had all types of weird crap.
-black ski pylon -82-84 Deluxe Interior -black battery cover trim -forward slanted drivers side Ski Nautique decal -Odd Steering Wheel -85 only airguides (made the brochure) None of which made the brochure. My boat is #70 to be build for the 85 model year. I think it was sprayed in June of 84, Yes Rod, Akora (Ryan) on the site has a silver 86 ski. he re popped the dash for that and also did the artwork for the 85 and added the two holes on the right for the ground block that was mounted elsewhere on the 86. |

I thought someone made these panels- but for 1986? Any 1985 options?

Do you ever see these airguides around? Looks like a 2025 style- with a diffent face. Boat I'm looking at only has the one original speedo- and a replacement.

So the panel is just aluminum? With silk screening?

Just read the post on the panels. Wow- amazing, but even I wouldn't spend the kind of coin. I can re anodize for much less and add decals..
