Wooden dashboard

I formed the dashboard from flexiply and covered it in a sapele veneer , the airguide instruments were cut into the dash .

Finishing touches !



Vogue chrome script on dashboard and gold vogue lettering on the transom

Old handheld spotlight , refurbished and sprayed in a coordinated colour to match seating and steering wheel .


Waterski hook and bilge pump water outlet on the transom . I may add eyebolts either side of outboard engine for a waterski bridle at a later date .

Highliner Trailer

I Chose this trailer because i had limited space in the boat shed and the highliner trailer has a feature that allows the towing hitch to hinge back on itself .

 Refurbished winch with new red 50mm webbing and painted the winch hook red to match
 Long trailer front should help with launch and retrieval .
 I fitted some stainless eye bolts to the front of the trailer as anchorage points for the bow tie down strap , also you can just see the extra reflector i have added .
 Rear strap fixing and lighting board mount .
 I added stick on reflective stripes to the back for night driving
Rubber bow stop fits neatly around the stainless bow plate .
Added extra reflectors front(amber)and back(red) for extra visability whilst driving at night.
