Electronics & Upgrades
Some projects don’t fit a standard service category. Maybe you want a modern helm in an older boat, a console reshaped for new electronics, or a layout change that involves fiberglass, wiring and upholstery all at once. Hands On Deck takes on custom boat work and fabrication in Fort Myers for owners across Southwest Florida who want a solution built around their boat.

One Plan for Multi-Trade Projects
Our advantage is that we look at the boat as a complete system rather than treating each job as an isolated task. A helm refit might involve fiberglass work to reshape the console, marine electronics for the new displays, paint to finish the modified surfaces, upholstery for the seating, and hardware to tie it together. When one team coordinates all of those pieces into one plan, the result looks cohesive instead of pieced together, and you have one point of contact the whole way.
How a Custom Project Comes Together
01
Start with the idea.
Tell us what you want the boat to do or look like. Sketches, photos and examples help.
02
Look at the boat.
We check the structure, wiring and space available so the plan is realistic.
03
Plan the trades.
We map out the fiberglass, electrical, paint, upholstery and hardware work in the right order.
04
Estimate and build.
You get an estimate for the plan, and we keep you updated as the work moves along.
When Nothing Off-the-Shelf Fits
Older boats and unusual layouts often don’t have ready-made parts or panels. In those cases we can fabricate what’s needed or adapt a modern component to fit, working with our parts sourcing to find the closest starting point.
FAQ
Custom Work FAQs
Don’t see yours? Call the shop and talk to the team directly.
Can you modernize the helm on an older boat?
Yes. Helm and dash modernization usually combines console fiberglass work, new panels and electronics installation.
How do you price a custom project?
Custom work is priced from the plan: the trades involved, materials, and fabrication time. We’ll walk through the plan with you and give you an estimate before work starts.
Do I need to know exactly what I want first?
No. Bring the problem or the idea, and we’ll help shape it into a plan that works for the boat.
