1987 Champion Super Champ Restoration - Front Deck Panel - 10/25/16 04:17 PM
I have a '87 Champion SC I am working to restore and get myself off the bank. The floor, transom, and Johnson 110 are good just needs some interior cosmetics and seats.
The front switch panel plastic enclosure has seen its better days... it had some slight warping and few small cracks. Then I came along and wacked it around by accident with the polisher while buffing on the gelcoat. That didn't help.
I doubt I would ever find a replacement from a salvage boat so I figure I am going to have to fabricate a new enclosure. I could just mount it flush but would prefer to have the recessed enclosure if I could have one fabricated without breaking the bank.
I am fairly good with wood but dont think I could create such a thing with the front lip needed given the tolerances and widths I have to work with.
Any suggestions?
