new interior for $650.00
« on: March 29, 2014, 08:28:29 AM »
I just had to throw this out there for some of you guys who are in need of a new interior but not willing to dump a ton of money into it.

I picked these up for roughly $120 a piece and if you do this dont settle for the cheaper Rugged Ridge" or Onyx" brands because they are made in china and have constant complains about the frames breaking. I really didnt want to take the chance being right in front of the motor.

They can be bought in a variety of colors but it seemed to be a struggle to get anything but black from the local off-road shop. BEFORE... you guys jump on me for the foolishness of them being BLACK and SCALDING hot in the sun the look pretty damn good against the blue. I can always put neoprene seat covers on it but they do come in tan, spice, and grey besides the black.

They are Smittybuilt low back bucket seats for a Jeep which means they are made for the weather and to be wet all  the time. They have a lifetime warranty on the frame and a year on the material but being that they stay covered up or garaged 90 percent of the year they should hold up for many years to come.

You can get them in different materials also.

Its still not completely installed in these photos, More or less just mocked up, but you get the idea.

Looks 100x better but I'm sure that black is gonna be hot this summer. Maybe 5 new beach towels to go with the new interior? Lol

Im in Chelsea, AL.  I've got 9 acres of land and most of it is wooded. I'm sure trees are a little rare in some parts of the west...? lol

Nice man! I went the same route with mine.  Found these on iboat website.  40$ a pop American made.  Folding bass boat seats. Came with 5 year frame warranty 3 years on vinyl. Glassed some  3/4 ply for floor w/ some home depot carpet snd bam ready to go. I'm a cheap bastard. Think I spent $350 on the interior.

Well, It does have me pricing bimini tops already....lol

There is no doubt that the whole cocktail seating would look better but Im just at a point to where putting a ton of money in it just doesnt make sense anymore.

Its a 1969 model and shes starting to show her age. She has been the definition of "B  reak  O  ut   A  nother  T  housand" :banghead:

Plus its just hard for me to sink in the money when I use it so rarely. I own my own business and have to work "on call" every other week. Then at that point you have to factor in the kids Baseball and playing with the other toys.

Believe me on one thing though, If I were in California where there seems to be an abundance of jet boats I might be the "black sheep" and the story might be different on what I threw at it dollar wise, But here I am one of three on all the lakes i have been to. 

You wanna be a rock star on the water? Drag one of your boats to Alabama... because if they are dropping their jaws for mine, i think they would  just all jump overboard when they saw some of yours.  :D
