Source of the post Hi Ron - I have an 88 3867 and at first I was thinking 'that's *NOT* a 3867 Santego - but then I realized the upside down pics issue

Its also funny I was going to name my boat "Escape Hatch" LOL!

The teak looks good! You have a lot more metering going on than mine though! For instance I'm pretty certain I don't have meters under the steering wheel.

Cheers,

Hi Matt, when we bought her, her name was Fat and Sassy and my wife was having none of that, so the name had to go... So since the boat is our escape to place every time we can get away - every weekend during season - she became our “Escape Plan”.

You don’t have any gauges under the wheel? The two lower ones are the hour meters for the engines. The top left is the engine sync gauge and the top right is for the halon fire extinguisher.

The ones on the panels are arranged slightly different than original as the voltmeter is directly under the port tach and the fuel gauge is directly under the starboard tach. They had been moved on the original starboard panel to provide room for the Raymarine multifunction display. On the new panel I arranged both panel to be more symmetrical.

To revive an old post, I saw you obtained the material via Amazon - Decorative Plastics. This may be ridiculous to ask, but how did you cut it precisely?

It definitely not ridiculous to ask, the only ridiculous question is the one that isn't asked. I used my original panels as a template to layout everything and then used a dremel to do all the cutting and shaping. And the project made the perfect excuse to go buy a dremel . It went a lot easier than I expected.
