Has anyone used either of the Martinez interior shops lately, either Elsinore or Perris ? I need to have my seats redone (raccoons, Thanks neighbors) and had originally planned to use Eddie a few years ago, but I had some family problems and didn't get the work done. Since that time the brothers have split and I read that some of of the work had become questionable and pricey.

The plan was to disassemble the seats and send the coverings to use as patterns. Eddie would send the new coverings back and I could do the install on my frames. Eddies theory to do it this way would save a bunch of cost for shipping. I may have found a somewhat reasonable way to ship, Fastenal.

I tried to get someone here in Wisconsin, but they were out of their minds, $4600, just to replace the covers, no wood. I really can't find someone close that I would trust with the work.

Rene’s boat upholstery (951) 312- 1365. He does GS Marines work. He did my Hallett.

Matt and Johnny Utah,

Thanks for your replies.

Matt, your interior does look good. Was it Eddie that did your seats? When did you have it done? What was your turn around time? My thought would be to send my stuff out there in the late fall, early winter during the slow season so it doesn't get lost in the spring/summer rush. I know that they did good work prior to the split

I will give Rene a call and see if he can use my seat covers as patterns so I can keep the shipping cost down.

I need to check with FastenAll to see what shipping rates are. I have heard of guys shipping race engines for like $45.00

Below are what is left of my seats after Rocky Raccoons got done.

Eddie did mine last year I built all the frames and panels waterproofed them and dropped them off last year about two weeks before the pictures I uploaded. Hope this helps

Boat and interior looks great. Whats nice is there is just enough color to make it pop, not go over board. I will have to spend some time looking over your interior.

Matt:

Glad to hear that your interior was done recently. I had heard that there were some issues right after the spllt. Prior to the split, Martinez Brothers were probably the most recommended guys to go to. Like the blue powdered pump.

I'm going to have to make some calls and see about getting something going this fall.

Thanks,

Bob
