Is 1800 for an new wood, foam, and vinyl? If so not a bad price. I have been quoted 2500-3000 for the same work.

I'm the carpenter and resin guy on this one though. 1800 was only for new Softside marine vinyl and foam on seat bottoms.

I'm sure price will go up because I talked myself into all new foam since I wanna go the distance and have no regrets.

Call me nuts but I'm thinking I'm going to glass in some 3/4" ply up under the consoles, out of the way for my sub enclosures. I hate the ghetto truck boxes stashed in the boat.

Probably not that big a deal, start out with some cardboard and keep cutting till I like my template and guess of the damned at one cubic foot then cut and shape some thick plywood and throw the mat and resin at it. Sound good?

the least I've been quoted was 3000 with no foam or carpet

I built my own seat frames and mine was over $5000. 00 for seats and carpet.Remember good ain't cheap and cheap ain't good

BIG JOHNSON · « **Reply #35 on:** February 05, 2012, 09:23:22 AM »

Just cause ya pay more doesn't mean you get the best.

1800 was a starting point and there's been changes and will be more changes. I'll probably be in the mid/upper 2k range with the guy.

I just stole the banner from work. I have a 400w Metal Halide work light on the side of the garage and the banner keeps it from lighting up the two neighbors across the street.

Anyone know of a reasonably priced, good upholsterer that is local?

I think I wanna do the same configuration but put white in place of the pink..

Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

just remember, pink looks good...

BIG JOHNSON · « **Reply #41 on:** February 12, 2012, 09:54:30 AM »

Yeah I couldn't get away from it, it is being incorporated. Without it, it won't match the gel and would look dumb.

Gonna ditch the teak ski locker and floor ice chest and make some carpeted and glassed drop in lids.

toss some silicone on the bolts/washers before you put em in so you keep that floor waterproof now that you've drilled holes in it.

Gotcha.

I dabbed some resin around each and seated all the carriage bolts with temporary nuts. Come time to do carpet I can take them loose, pinch the carpet between aluminum and put on the stainless lock nuts without any carriage bolts spinning on me.
