First of all, the time to figure out what to do for a console isn't when you are ready to put one in, just sayin...

What do you have for a console now? Do any on this page match>>>

If not you can put anything you want in your boat. If you have an original Cohasset console, and you want to keep your boat a Cohasset, then you need to repair the console you have. Even if you found one that has been kicking around for 40 years chances are you'll be fixing that one up as well.

I like the Montauk console(s) much much better, but it wasn't an option for your year boat, (which only matters if you are a Purist, aka mental case). Then again so what? Your hull is identical to mine other than the stencil #, (theres a picture of it on my personal page). Of course I have my share of Whaler OCD so I'd at least want to keep the Montauk console the proper vintage Winged console.

It would be nice to see a picture of your boat, it is easy to set up a personal page here. Probably take less time than it took for me to post this message. I'd like to see what your rails look like, plus it would be easier for us to answer the questions you are going to have.
