Here is another dash that maybe more applicable to what I think you could do with yours. Glass the back of the dash to plug the holes. Use wood plugs and epoxy in place. Feather the hole edges and glass the top. Bondo to make smooth. Use 1/8" aluminum plate and cut with a jigsaw to shape. This is very easy to do. Cut holes and paint.

I have exactly the same view on the number of instruments there should be in a pleasure boat. When I switched engine (from Yamaha to Merc) I also thought I would be stuck with a lot of holes but it was not so. I used carbon fibre to fill mine (one after a stero and the other after the ignition).
I was going to fill them in instead of covering them if I had more...RIB Unlimited 600/Merc 150 ProMax ss
Allison SS-2000/Merc 200xs ss
Hydrolift T-17/Merc 200xs ss

It does look good yellow! I actually glassed the old holes and then put the alum. plate on it and it looked alot better when it was polished and not covered with dirt from setting for a year.
This was just a quick saturday fix to get the autometer guages in it and the old 1976 stuff out
