Thought my console turned out pretty good as well. Covered the entire thing with 1 continuous piece of 4oz woven. That was a feat! I'll fillet the inside and do a full coat of epoxy then work on building up the flange some more with some chopped strand mat I have lying around. Theres a little waviness in the flange so I'll have to do some sanding to smooth it out once built up. Nothing I can't handle though.

Great idea/execution. You going with wheel steering or is this just a grab-console/seat? I know we talked about it but don't recall the final decision on it.

Yeah full blown steering and throttle.

Have a Seastar NFB helm and Seastar Xtreme Throttle already. :D

Even modeled them up in Fusion360 to help size the console.

Shifter or just throttle?

Wow. The honda units I've looked at are huge compared to that. Good to know!

Yup, I bought them way early in the build process just so I could model them.

I'm going to need to take a fresh look at converting my tiller motor to remote controls. All I'm doing out of the gate is remote steering.

Rubrails are DONE! At least the sides are that is. I'm bonding the Transom Clamp board in place and then I'll work on bonding the strips around the back.

Have to drill 2 more stern eye holes because the rub rail will now be in the way.

Paint ordered. Got the EZPoxy from Petit with a can of the Performance Enhancer. Going with a Platinum hull and white deck. I think it's gonna look a little something like this.

Probably also work on the console in the mean time as well.

Photos later.
