I've been seeking plastic suppliers for deck hardware bases. This site also has lots good stuff for instrument panels, engine panel covers, etc. A helpful site:

If you are on the west coast, as I have mentioned before, you can also stop into your local Tap Plastics storefront and rummage through their scrap bin - everything in there is sold by the pound. So far I haven't spent more than a couple of dollars for any boat project. You can also just take in your drawing and they'll do the project for you for a pretty reasonable cost. But where's the fun in that?
