2008 Triton Rehab

FD · January 14, 2020, 07:07:49 AM

When we pulled the dash assembly yesterday we found the dash is in pretty bad shape structurally.

It's going to take many hours to rebuild it then paint/ wrap it.

Anyone know where I can just buy an entire assembly? Several hours of google searches haven't produced much.

Make one out of 1/8 Aluminum.

Easy to do if you have the old one for a pattern.

Prime it with Self Etching Primer (available at Home Depot/Lowe's/ WM) then paint whatever color you want.

And she's clean and gone.

To this point we have around 70 hours of labor in this project.

What started as a wrap and re-carpet, has turned into a full blown rehab.

Those that know me and my high level of OCD are not surprised by this...

What's the expected turn time for wrap and seadek?

About a week on the wrap then back here for the Seadek. They were saying around 3 weeks from the day of deposit which was the 2nd. We still don't have a final layout for the Seadek but once that's done it's a day on the CnC machine and then a couple of hours to install.

I'm shooting for the 15 of February for her to be back in the water.

I just got off the phone with C and O Marine in Tennessee. Apparently they bought most of the new old stock parts from Triton when it moved to Arkansas.

All the dash parts I need may be in "the barn". They were going digging and are going to call me back.

How they made it was going to be my next question. I assume that means they laser measured on their first visit? Pretty cool process to follow along on.

Good luck. Hope they have them.

You should be ready for the PCMH M&G on 22 Feb.

That is where I have got any of the old Triton items I needed, and so far they have never failed to find the things I needed.
Loving this thread so far.

Yep, they laser measured last week.

Seadek is made in 4x8 sheets like plywood.

FYI

About 10 years ago Seadek received a Federal grant to move their manufacturing facilities from China to Rockledge Fl.

Next door is the Castaway Customs cutting facility which is partially owned by the same group as Seadek.

Good to know.

I found sheets of the seadek on amazon. I think I'm going to order a sheet and cut it to fit in my kayak. should help with noise reduction and give me a fairly firm standing surface.

They are made in 5 different thicknesses and 2 different densities so pay attention to that when ordering.
