Maybe someone here could help me... I don't plan to do untill sometime in the future, but no reason I can start planning it 
<br /><br />I just got a 1968 Cobia 15' runabout. I really like the boat, but the dashboard just isn't cutting it for me. An idea I had(but I'm still considering it) is taking a rather large peice of aluminum and going around were the gauges are, over the steering wheel, then over where a couple switches are. You know, get someone to round hte edges a bit so it looks a bit decorative, then bore out holes for the guages. I'd then replace the gauges with similar new ones and redo the switches(lights, trim, and pump) with matching ones.<br /><br />The engine is an '79 80HP Mercury. Will most any tach work with it?
