    I have been given a 73 30' egg-harbour. The hull is fiberglass, but the flybridge is made out of wood, and has rotted away. The cabin decking has also rotted away, both pretty much beyond repair. my plan is to cut the bridge right off, rip out all the wood, and make it a center console. But where can I get the console?

    Afproff,

    Here is a web address to a place I found out of Pensacola, FL. I haven't done business with this place, but am myself searching for a center console for a simliar project on a 19' boat. I did E-mail him on prices, and he replied by the next day. ---> www.dawsonboats.info/

    Molded consoles

    Hou-Chap, I got a private message from Eagle Boats, in New York, that says they can mold one for $750. He said he will e-mail me in a week or so with photos, if I hear anything I'll let you know

    thanx..

    Af,

    Sounds good. Although you are looking for a console probably much larger than what I am looking for, I would be interested in seeing some pictures and dimensions. Let me know..

    HC- I got an e-mail from Eagle Boats, he sent me pictures of the consoles he makes for a 24 foot boat, which I assume that his company makes as well. It may not be the right size for my project (to small), but it maybe for yours. He probably makes smaller consoles as well. If you want to see some pictures, I can forward the e-mail to you
