I just semi-inherited a boat similar to this. Do you have finished pics? It has steering and throttle, but is not installed. do they make consoles for these kinds of boats that can house that, or am I on my own trying to custom something up?
very interested in this topic. My dad's had an impossible life with more loss than I hope I ever have to go through, it would be life changing for him if I could refinish/rebuild this thing with/for him. Identical to the OPs boat. It's in fine structural condition and has a johnson 45 in great shape as well. but other than that is very raw with a poor paint job.

Do you know what make the boat is?
Mine is a tiller steer Duracraft, but just from browsing it seems that simple side consoles are pretty easy to come by.

Someone stole it from the side of my house a couple of years ago, so no pics. Welding aluminum isn't for someone who doesn't know what they are doing. You could make it out of thinner sheet metal, brace it good, and bolt it to some aluminum brackets. Then, get a welder to weld the console into the boat
I'd also make a plate that covers all of the controls going to the console
