HOW TO MAKE AN ACYRYLIC DASH For Your Boat- Step by Step Using Map Gas & Propane Torches

[@JeffWalker-bn9el]

[@JackedUpFishing]

You should! Thanks for watching!!

Pretty much what happened to me

[@jameslake6306]

My first boat project is under way now. I'm doing a total refit of a 93 Lund Tyee GS 1850. For this last 10 months I've removed the Maroon 1993 interior completely including front and rear decking. Cut, epoxied, EV'ed, glued, upholstered every stick of furniture in the boat and changed to a white/grey/charcoal color palette. Also did a Coosa/Gluvit transom and opened up both gunnells for washdown kit and power poles on each transom horn. I welded a swim ladder platform on the starboard side of splashwell and lowered my transom tie-downs 5" so I could mount the power poles a bit lower--that idea came from "No Fish Nick" and I liked it enough to do that on my Lund. Because the power poles are hydraulic, I added space to the port side of the splashwell to locate the 2 pumps together. Also added front, center, and rear storage for electronics and fishing tackle. I removed the live well aerator "T" and installed a "90" to allow 1 of 2 live wells to be used as dry storage. I'm only painting the stern this year; the rest of the boat will be painted next year. Boat will be in rivers and lakes so I installed the Garmin Kraken trolling motor along with 5 chartplotters and 3 transducers on both ethernet and/or NMEA2K networks.

Dang sounds legit!

[@jameslake6306]

@@JackedUpFishing I like your acrylic dash so much I'm swiping your idea for my boat🙂. I'm thinking a totally digital gauge cluster in edgelit acrylic might be a thing? Maybe someday,,,

[@youngstgeorge]

Amazing!!!

Thanks man! Wait till you see the next build

Thanks JC! Been working too much need to get out and wet a line soon!!!!

[@nickfonder3441]

Good timing, I just ordered acrylic to redo my dash. Yours is the best video I’ve seen on acrylic dashes so far. Thanks for posting. Looks “pimp”, I agree

[@JackedUpFishing]

Thanks man! It was tough bending 3/8 thick for sure. Also make sure you use map gas instead of propane. Works much better. Let me know how yours comes out!

[@nickfonder3441]

@@JackedUpFishing My dash came out better than expected, should have done it earlier

[@JackedUpFishing]

@@nickfonder3441 awesome man! So glad I did mine too.

[@brian1715]

Nice work brotha ! Boat is coming out good ! 💪🏻🤙🏻 I did many of these always had better vibes with a heat gun. Ps moose with a helmet !! Love it Great 😊😂

[@JackedUpFishing]

That’s my bro-in-laws shop. His father finds that stuff and hangs it all around. Pretty funny. Thanks for the compliment! I tried the heat gun but that 3/8 wasn’t having it. Lol

[@AchikSarih]

Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JackedUpFishing]

Thanks

[@jaciereconte-hr4qs]

How did you screw the fish finder and glove box in without cracking. I’m on my second piece and it cracks every time

[@JackedUpFishing]

You have to predrill to the exact size of the screw. At least that's what I did. What thickness is your acrylic?

[@jaciereconte-hr4qs]

I used 1/8 but just ordered 1/4 so hopefully that helps. Did you use a step bit?

[@JackedUpFishing]

@@jaciereconte-hr4qs no just a regular bit. 1/4 is thick. I used 3/16

[@isaiahritter4489]

Where did get the acrylic from?

[@JackedUpFishing]

I got it from eBay

[@kendalcobb367]

Great vid. I watch all you're vids,also Jetti

[@JackedUpFishing]

Thanks man!! Really appreciate it! Tight Lines!!

[@brod12313]

Is it a special type of acrylic

[@JackedUpFishing]

Nope just ordered it from eBay

[@leroycline8849]

Man I wish you made a template. I need this in my boat. Same exact boat. Where did you get the glove box?

[@JackedUpFishing]

Yeah I was in it today and it really came out sweet! Deep Blue marine makes the boxes.

[@jacobsalinas5391]

what size acrylic sheet did you get? how wide and tall?

[@JackedUpFishing]

I think I got like 2x3ft piece

[@DSKSeattle]

Always keep a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and a rag around when working with 5200. It wipes off like butter. In a bind, you can also just use hand sanitizer to clean up 5200.

[@JackedUpFishing]

Good to know! Never heard of that one. Thx

[@hattisfaction]

Looks amazing, I'm impressed. Who was your acrylic supplier? You inspired me to take on the same project.

[@JackedUpFishing]

I actually got it off eBay out if Ocala Florida they had great prices and delivered fast

[@Rjacobsen8617]

Would love to know the company! I am about to do my dash on my CC. Let me know please!

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

First... we need to go fishing brother.

[@JackedUpFishing]

For sure!!

@@JackedUpFishing that dash came out sick...Great video bro

[@Carnivorefitness2024]

A lot of hard tedious work, but it is gonna look friggin sweet!

[@JackedUpFishing]

Bigtime but it’s turned out awesome. Should be finished this weekend

[@DannyTV7]

I’m working on a simple project just like this😂

[@JackedUpFishing]

Nice!

[@Picasofly]

I was surprised to see you use the propane tourch. I would have used a heat gun if I hadn't seen this.

[@JackedUpFishing]

Yeah with 3/8 thick heat gun will not do it. Had to use map gas actually as propane wasn't even enough

[@Picasofly]

@@JackedUpFishing I didn't even think about the thickness. Good to know before I start my project.

[@JackedUpFishing]

@@Picasofly yeah it makes a big difference

[@yellow_noise3]

I hate videos recorded by one hand, while second hand tries to do the stuff. Man buy a camera stand and record right, with respect to the audience...

[@JackedUpFishing]

This isn't a major motion picture capt! Still learning. but obviously if you don't like it don't watch. tight lines!

[@choimdachoim9491]

Less talk, more walk, please. Even playing back at double-speed is too slow! Info is great, though.

[@JackedUpFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@DannyTV7]

You can get this done in about 8hours but I really like the what’s up guys in the middle of the video. It caught me on the hook🪝

[@JackedUpFishing]

Ok! lol
