    I know there is a few of you who are waiting for your panels from Scott. I spoke to him last Friday the 23th to finalize the drawings. I left a couple of emails for him and tryed calling him several times on Thursday and today without any response. If anyone waiting for their panels let me know the last time you spoke to him. I hope he is ok, it is not like him not to return messages.

    Ted, from what I've read here, you need to have lots of patience when dealing with him. Good luck!

    I have replaced mine with panels from Scott, his superior product and craftsmanship is worth the wait (imo)..... As with a lot of vendors/suppliers I have worked with they are trying to juggle too much stuff at once for fear of not enough tomorrow. I usually had to keep calling to catch him when he had a minute to answer the phone.

    In October it took 2 weeks to get the complete order, than I changed my electronic's layout and he remade the main panel it took 7 days to receive the new panel.

    Scott new I as in a hurry to finish my install and he really came thru....

    I also agree his work is worth the wait I will submit some pics

    Having ordered a panel from Scott and having to deal with some of the same delays, I would say that the following is pretty common knowledge here at CSR, at least to the regulars-

    a) Scott makes quality panels

    b) Scott has had some personal issues and organizational problems that can cause delays

    I do appreciate the work he did for me. He also re made the entire panel again due to a measurement error on my part and insisted he do it free of charge. I will remember that.

    I haven't had any work done by him but know he had tons of personal problems that he got stuck in the middle of. Didn't sound like anything he did directly but was a bystander in. Hope he is getteing past the garbage.

    Can someone post some pics of his work - looking to update and would like to consider someone that is strongly referenced by CSR.

    Thanks

    Does anyone know the correct name of the wood burl panels on my 03' 320. ? Or if theres a certain color to go by? I ordered it from MM but then they said you cant order it without the cutouts. So they cancelled it. Very frustrating!!!

    Technographic is another sponsor of CSR. Also curious if anyone has used them as well and if they were happy. Ted, have you gotten a response from Vector yet?

    Technografic is the OEM supplier of those panels for Sea Ray so you would probably need to go with them for an exact match. I could never get them to call me back when I was trying to get a panel done. Since then they became a CSR sponsorer and a few people have posted positive comments about them.

    Thanks guys, I had panels made here before, but not even close. I dont really see any of the boats made after 1999 having panels made .the answer i got was to "have all the panels made over" which is impossible and ridiculous, some of my light switch panels are molded. Make them all over just to get them to match? Come on ! I will try technografic. Thanks again
