New Boat
 

New to me anyway g. I just bought a 1995 Reinell BRXL. The hull is great,
only 150hrs on the motor, and the interior is immaculate...except for the
dash. There's a crack that runs down the left side of the steering column,
and actually is no big deal...except to me. Is there an online source that I
can go to where I can order a replacement? I googled it to death with no
luck. Am I stuck going to a dealer for this? Are they even available?

The center of the dash (where the guages and switches are) is not important
because I've already started on the walnut replacement for that. I'm a
finish carpenter by trade, so this is a fun and easy project that'll make
the wife VERY happy g. I'm doing the same for the cooler and glove box
doors on the passenger side as well.

Thank for any input you folks can provide.

Look up the manufacturer and see if you can get it from them. I had
some luck a long time ago when I found new MFG logos by tracing the
company to it's then current incarnation and simply asking if they
were available.

Just remember that once you start, it ain't gonna stop. :)

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the response!

Look up the manufacturer and see if you can get it from them.

I found their website, but there was nothing "online" about parts. I'll try
calling them directly tomorrow.

Just remember that once you start, it ain't gonna stop. :)

Something about that statement sounds very true g.

Thanks again.
