Hello,
I have a 1978 Montauk with a 70 Evinrude/Suzuki 4 stroke with all Evinrude gauges. I just did the dash over because I added an AM/FM radio for my son who has to listen to the Red Sox when we are out on the boat. I used a piece of mahogany 5/4 decking which I shaved down to 3/4. I cut out all the holes for instruments and radio and switches, and then put about 7 coats of a good quality marine varnish. I cover the console with a Halls blue OEM console cover when not in use, and the varnish does not deteriorate at all because the sun is not beating down on it all day. I will send a pic when I get a chance.
