This may be a touchy subject as I may completely change the configuration of my dash. The factory plastic/vinyl dash is broken and ripped. With alot of fiberglass reinforcement on the back and a possible recover from the uppolstry shop I may be able to salvage it. After removing the old dash I saw that the fiberglass underneath it looked really good that got me to thinking. What if I got rid of the vinyl dash altogether and mounted the guages and switches in the glass underneath? I think it would look really good if I could cut all the holes in the right spots. Has anyone tried this before? The factory dash is not available from CC anymore and I doubt if anyone wants to sell me the dash out of their boat. When I removed the vinyl and buffed the dash my wife didn't even notice that it was removed. I think it would turn out clean enough that only you guys would notice it was different. Any oppinions?

I would check with Paul first before you start cutting it might be easier to get a used cover to replace yours and It wouldn't supprize me if one was laying around at someones house waiting for a new home.

If you have a 90 you can get the pod repaired. DavidF had a nice repair job on his done a few weeks ago, for his 99SAN. He did a post on PN about it under maintenance.
