What We Build

From custom builds to ready-made essentials.

Custom-cut in our Cape Coral shop — from marine-grade StarBoard builds to acrylic switch panels — everything made to upgrade your boat, not just fill a spec sheet.

Storage Boxes — The Build

Every box starts as a measurement.

The size shown here is one example — the box that matters is the one that fits your boat. Send dimensions or have us come measure, and it's cut to that spec.

Why StarBoard

Built for salt, sun, and everyday use.

01

Won't rot or rust

StarBoard marine-grade HDPE handles saltwater, humidity, and sun without the swelling, cracking, or fading that wood and lesser plastics see over time.

02

Stainless throughout

Hinge, flush latch, and every screw are stainless steel — no rust streaks bleeding onto your gelcoat, no corroded hardware to replace.

03

Sized to your boat

Not a fixed catalog size — every box is measured and cut for the specific space you have, from center consoles to pontoons.

How It Works

From measurement to your boat, fast.

01 / Order

Order a ready-made piece, or send us your measurements

Cup holders ship as-is. For a custom box, message your space's dimensions — or if you're near Cape Coral, we'll come measure it ourselves.

02 / Build

Cut and assembled to your size

Your box is CNC-cut from 1/2" StarBoard and fitted with stainless hinge, latch, and hardware.

03 / Delivery

Local drop-off, or shipped to your door

Local to Cape Coral? We hand-deliver. Anywhere else, it ships straight to you.

Hatches — Custom Sized

Switch Panels — The Upgrade

From a tired panel to a modern helm.

Sun and saltwater wear on switch panels over the years — labels fade, switches get stiff, and some start failing internally. We build a fresh replacement: your choice of illuminated switches, laid out however you want them, with labels engraved into the back of the panel if you're adding backlighting — so the face stays completely smooth and light shows through the lettering — or into the front if you're skipping backlighting. It's the look that comes standard on newer boats, built for the one you already own.

Before Older worn switch panel at the helm, before upgrade

Same helm, same cutout — aging switches swapped for a fresh, illuminated panel

Every panel is laid out for your boat — specs below are for the example shown.

  • SwitchesYour choice — plastic or stainless, any style
  • PanelCNC-cut acrylic
  • BacklightingBacklit labels, optional add-on
  • FitCut to your existing helm cutout
We design it together. We'll walk through your functions and layout with you, enter it into our CNC software, and refine it until it's exactly right — switch selection and sourcing included in that conversation.
Recent build — 27' deck boat

Aging switches swapped for illuminated push-buttons, with the panel CNC-cut on the router and the layout rearranged along the way. Labels are engraved into the back of the panel so the face stays completely smooth, and LED backlighting behind it lights every switch evenly — a big difference at night, and it cleans up the whole dash.

Recent build — 2004 ProKat 2200 CC

The owner recently bought the boat and picked up new electronics to fit the console, so we built him a full replacement panel in 3/8" black acrylic. The left cutout holds his GPS, the middle is sized for his outboard instrumentation, and the glove box is built right into the panel for phones, wallets, and other small items.
