Dash face panels

[ckalupa]

Is there anyplace that stocks dash face plates for boats? I am looking for the one of the face panels in wood grain for a 1998 Larson 310 Cabrio - the one that is about 11.5 x about 3" high with four 2" rounds for the trim gages. Mine cracked in half.

Post a pic so we can see what it looks like. Is is vinyl or real wood? If wood, should be pretty easy to fabricate a new one. Lot's of woodworkers on here that might be willing to help you out, including me.

I will try to get a pic up later today. The mfgr does not have any. I was hoping that there was a boat "boneyard" somewhere like the car boneyards that are all over the country. Don't see many of them up here in the north.

I tried to post a picture but it did not appear from what I can see??

OK - I missed on the wood grain part but I will settle for wood grain

It measures about 11.5" wide by 2.75" high

Yes, tried calling them first - Larson was a big "no" so I thought I would try to find one online or at a bone yard. If I can't I will make this one work or fab a new one out of wood tone starboard.

I used marine marks and they came out great - nice rich wood grain with white letters.
