Are you interested in selling your center console? I have a 15 side console that I want to convert.

Thanks

Yes, I bought the wood sides which gave me most of the measurements for the console, seats and rear storage.

Stain, epoxy resin and then clear coat. Epoxy has no UV inhibitors and that is why I clear coat it. I was able to get the side wood rails at a local marine store which carry some old whaler stuff.

John,

The new interior looks good! Do you have the contact info for more wood for my 13?

dogeatdog, I see you are in Tampa. If your looking for mahogany, (ribbon striped Sapele) get in touch with Triton Lumber and Marine Construction supply.He is in Homosassa. He has a good supply of it. Last time I bought from him it was $4.95 bd. Ft. He also has okoume plywood.
