Dash question

[jzmolik]

I'm needing to repair my dash on 95 ski nautique. My question is can u "retrofit" another year model dash console onto this boat? I can't find one anywhere that matches mine but I see a lot of molds that are just a lil bit different as far as gauge placements.

Is it rare to have to replace a dash ?

What is wrong with your dash? If it is just some broken holes that the mounting bolts go through then that is fixable by glueing some washers on the backside. If you have a more severe issue then some others years will probably fit your 95 but I don't know the exact ranges off the top of my head.

Alot of the vinyl is wearing off. The mounting holes are busted in some places. The plates for the switches and stuff are cracked. And i dont like the placement of the radio being behind the steering wheel. I figured it would cost as much to repair as it would be to replace. If i could find a replacement

If you watch "Inside West Coast Customs", you'll see anything is possible, however a different year dash would not be a simple swap. There was a thread here where an owner made a new dash himself out of fiberglass. That could be option, but first you could bring it to an upholstery shop just to see what they would charge to repair the one you have.
