[QUOTE="Ebug, post: 425112, member: 11893"] Rotus623...I recently did a console conversion like what you are inquiring about. I searched hi and low for a console that met my requirements of budget and size. I could find either one or the other but not both. I finally ended up building my own. I had the resources to weld it myself so I saved some money there, but had about $200 in the console once it was over. I will recommend going as narrow as possible on the console. My boat is a 1754 and my floor is 60" wide. The console I built is 20" wide. While there is a fair amount of room on either side, I still hold onto the windshield frame when walking around it. I wish I had made it only the width of the steering wheel now. In my case the console is only there to hold up the steering wheel and throttle. I have a lot of info on what I do and don't like about the conversion, including what I spent, and what the conversion led me to spend afterwards. Ask questions if you like.
