im willing to bet ff has 3 in his basement

It's alot of work but if it comes out good it will be a nice addition to the boat.

and like i said it's only taking a long time because each coat you have to wait to dry. the cure time is pretty quick so you have to work fast, actual labor I probably have about 12 hours into the project thus far, maybe a little less.

I`m looking to use an electronics box to add on TOP of the center console. Like a newer boat has where you can flush mount a couple electronics.
I have to get the right size to fit on top and glass it together.

Yeah, let me know how it comes out, and if you got pics.
Is it metal or fiberglass ?
