Sounds on the high side. I'm doing all my wood/glass work and I'm gonna be paying 1800 for new foam and material and I have an open bow.

i paid $1500. biggest thing is that when you build your own frames everything is a start from scratch setup.

what i dropped off

what i got back

erwins upholstery in long beach off of cherry blvd.

if you have existing seats and just need a refoam/recover they can disassemble the existing seat and use it as a template. much cheaper. martinez (which looks AMAZING) charges a ton for their interiors but they're awesome. they know how to make the most of the space, little cubby holes, cupholders, etc. upholstery is by far one of the most expensive steps.

Got you beat on quotes, I had some joker quote me 7500 for foam and vinyl and another quote me an even 5k

And that was with me dropping off seats

When I was working on interior I had a few quotes at $2K to $3500. I made my seat frames and took them to Martinez Marine Interiors in Corona and they hooked me up for about $1K. Look around a bit and you can find someone to do it for a more reasonable price, but marine interior is different than automotive interior so watch were you take it.

There's probably a few shops in your area that are willing to give you a good rate for quality work. Especially if you can handle some labor yourself. I like to walk the shop and see how organized they roll and scope out any current projects of theirs.

And material is important, I'm using marine stuff from Softside, they seem to have a good, heavy feel.

just remember good aint cheap and cheap aint good.quality workmanship and materials cost money. find a look and material you can live with and go for it. for carpet and seats in my boat I paid just over $5000.00 and the job they did blew me away

GT Jets · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2012, 10:29:02 PM »

jetjunky,

That looks killer..

Do yourself a favor though. Go get the correct distributor ca for that distributor......

That cap is an automotive one, it will have a vent hole in it. The correct one should be blue and have a gasket and no vent hole....

Sorry, it's my nature...I am very OCD when it comes to closed engines...

Would hate to see that awesome interior get torched.
