As far as filler panels go:
-Mark Miller
-John @ Bait Bar
-Lou (LargemouthLou in Florida)
... all have made filler panels for various BBC members .... and from what I can tell, all 3 do good work. It's just a matter of what you want it to look like and be made out of.
Good Luck.
Ranger, these have to be custom molded due to the shape... I don't think any of those have made any for these models... very difficult..
Nick .... let me clarify.
I was referring to 'filler panels' since the OP was asking for a cover for the hole left by his depthfinder ....... not the entire dash panel that Skeeter once made.
I probably should have stated that more clearly, sorry.
As soon as someone makes one to fit the mold of my SX170 to accommidate the trim switch and trolling motor plug I will buy it.
That's what I'm working on...
Your the man DM!! Shoot me a message when you figure something out.
may be a couple months, but I'll let you know

Makeing the panel is not the issue, I have made several for the ZX, TZX and I class series but when it comse to paying for the panel it's the sticker shock that the customer gets cold feet on. Custom fiberglass work is not cheap, I build and repair helicopter rotor blades and still have people complain about the price, I then explain that the rotor blade is what hold them in the air and try flying with out one or a porly repaired one..
Cant wait to see what yall come up with....

I don't mind paying for something if it does what I need it to do well....hell, the one I bought from Skeeter cost me close to 200 bucks!

Well all I need is a panel in some what good shape to make a mold from for the hull and a few pics and in a few weeks I can have a panel..

Add one more to the list. I too would pay the value if I could fit an 8" graph to the bow of a ZX190!
I would ship you mine come winter when I wrap my boat. My panel is 1 season old, and it excellent shape. As far as I know it will fit on most of the TXZ & ZX boats, I'm just not sure about the newer boats. Like 2010-2012

I think there may be some confusion here... the part I am talking about is the Front bow panel on SX models, not dashes in the console, etc.
I made mine out of Lexan and painted it.2010-11-21 17.41.27.jpg2010-11-25 09.19.09.jpg
I can look at making an addition to my mold for the people that want to add a larger graph to the 97 to 2003 panels for the ZX and TZX series. Right now I have one of the panels reinforced for a customer to put a ram mount on for a larger graph. I just need to get a little foam and start forming a plug..I can work one up quick that the lower bracket for most of the graphs will attach to but if you want it flush mounted that will take some time..What works for you guys??? Feed back please!.. I also currently have a 2004 zx and tzx series panel mold being finished that will have a solid plate that covers all three sections in place of the plastic pieces that break. I have also purchased an Iclass panel to make a mold from to fabricate custom panels..I have a few of the basic panels and one blinged out panel ( in red back light ) and carbon fiber hydro dipped that are still up for grabs..

heliblade, I personally would like to see an 8" sounder flush mounted in a similar finish to that of the original. My ZX is a 2010 model. Can you help?
Send me a pic of the panel . I want to make sure that it's like mine , the problem is that the graph will sit above the panel in a sleeve that has to be bonded to the main panel and you will not be able to bond it to the orginal panel since its plastic .also what graph do you have?
