I need to make a new dash/instrument panel for my project boat. The panel will be 9 x 18 inches, and at most 1/8 inch thick. Anybody got any suggestions on what material to use and where to get it? Right now I'm thinking I don't want to use wood. Thanks in advance.
 
If all you need is flat, Aluminum or plexiglas (or Lexan) will work well. I've used Plexiglas in the past with great success.
 
I just had to redo my dash after the diesel conversion. I used Starboard and the color was very close to the original aluminum panel.
 
I used black plexiglass.
You can see it on the chaparral forum. Looks great.
 
Front Panel Express. Expensive but they do nice work. I've had so many made, I'm almost an expert laying them out.
 
I recently had to create a back plate for new Fusion Radio & ended up using unbreakable Plexi with a thinner piece of S/S over top of it which made it were I was able to hide all bolts under S/S which gave a very clean look. I plan on doing the same when I change out old starting to crack dash material.
