I just purchased a 2004 Crownline 230 BR and I am looking for some parts. It appears that the prior owners had taken the dash panel out several times and didn't replace it properly so it has a couple of screw holes that are not used and some new ones where they stripped the dash mounting. The dash mounting surface is almost 100% destroyed leaving almost nothing to secure the dash panel in place. I have looked on the Crownline website and noticed the newer bowriders in that size range appear to have similar, if not the same, dash panels but Crownline maintains they cannot find parts like this and suggested the nearest dealer. Needless to say they were of no help.
I have been told to ask around marine salvage yards but the few inquiries I have sent out have remained unanswered.
I am looking for any suggestions to help me locate these two parts either new or in good used condition.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
