Replacement Center Console

[htillman]

Looking for a replacement center console for a 23 Seacraft. I have looked around the internet but not found anything interesting. Anyone have recommendations as to where I can find a replacement console. Prefer one with a seat in front like the original that came with the boat, it is a 1975.

Eddie...with all the work you have done, why don't you just make one?

Or are you looking for the easy way out

Easy way out - getting to old for major projects.

Pacific pilot houses (google to find site) makes what looks like really nice ones. The prices might make you reconsider though.

I think I also found out that maritime skiff or one of the other new england builders was selling their pilot houses directly.

As mentioned on another thread, maybe go find a console you like and I bet if you contact whoever makes it, you might be able to get them to make one for you for less than you might expect.

For what it's worth, I am making my own console (dog house).

I remember when I had my 23, I called Maritime.
I talked to the owner, and he was a real nice guy, he said he would sell the raw pilothouse right out of the mold if I wanted.
I forget what he quoted me, it wasn't cheap, but I think that would look great.
The one thing that might have been a problem though was the width, as I recall it was a little wider than I would have wanted.

Did you check out Birdsall Marine? The new medium size one looks like it would be perfect for a 23.

Thanks for the replies, if anyone comes across a nice new or used console let me know.

Try Silverhawk or Northcoast boats for new consoles
