My boat is currently out of action getting stringers/floor replaced and i wanted to relace my older bulky console with a more light weight one. Does anybody know where these consoles are made? I have been told they may be made in the brisbane area but since i am in Townsville it is hard to research fully. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The bloke doing the floor and stringers should be able to knock you up one,or you could make a mould using melamine board and he could lay it up for you.

you could try a website www.boatbox.com.au-they seem to have a good range on their website if youre after a custom console-i dont think they are cheap.I have seen some alloy ones at BCF,anything at BIAS??
good luck

Thanks Dave and Jimbo, boatbox is what i was looking for but was hoping to find a qld based manufacturer. I will call Bbox anyway and see if i can get one expressed up here(depending on price). I need the boat finished by feb otherwise i would think of having one made up.

I Stolly,

Try http://hookerboats.com (http://hookerboats.com/) in Cairns. I have a 5m Side Console that has a smaller console than the normal run of the mill large ones. I know that they will sell to the public, bit I have know idea of $

Galeforce makes a neat looking one for a reasonable price (07 3287 4888).
Me and my brother layed up our own in a few hours so it can be done pretty easily using melamine molds. It was my first effort at glassing useing a mold. I still have the bits. It is a 600 X 600 with a rebate for the controls

Cheers
