I see a very nice original BW16 Cohasset II restoration project in the photographs. The console does not look too bad; I suggest removing the windshield, as it is not original.
The Cohasset console is a simple design: you can easily replace the top facia board when you install a new binnacle.
I suggest you look at the teleflex website for parts replacement of your steering system.
Walter at the Black Duck Gallery offers very nice wood for the BW models. I have used his products and have been very satisfied with the craftsmanship.
I cannot say the same for specialty marine. I would not buy a mahogany console there; the mahogany console I bought two months ago was defective and of very poor craftsmanship.
