I'm looking for a center console for a 17' whaler. I'm not looking for an original, but I'd like something thats smaller than 35 inches wide. Thanks

I would think that the Helmsman Console in the upper right would work out nice. They sell these at Boaters World and West Marine along with other boating stores if you can't find a used one.

I was thinking that maybe I could find a used Carolina Skiff console (large model) used. Has anybody installed one on a Whaler?
