Overview
The result of several prototypes and careful ergonomic study, a center console will expand the Peeler Skiff's comfort. This center console is sleek, strong, and neatly integrated into the Peeler Skiff's interior layout. It's a functional upgrade and good-looking, too. The wheel is at the perfect height for all adults. A passenger seat with a hinged lid is incorporated into the front of the console, creating a large storage compartment beneath.
Designed as a retrofit package, the center console may be added to an existing Peeler Skiff, or incorporated from the beginning during hull assembly. It's built with the same 9mm okoume marine plywood, stitched-and-glued together with epoxy and sheathed in fiberglass. It is secured permanently to the hull with epoxy fillets and fiberglass, where it contributes noticeably to overall hull stiffness.
The center console package ships with fiberglass cloth and tape in addition to the computer-cut parts and instructions. Peeler builders working from a kit may have enough epoxy on hand to complete the center console, but might need to order additional epoxy.
Steering wheel, throttle, and other remote controls for the engine are sold separately.
