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..

As far as bimini goes, wife wants me to buy a longer one to shade a bit more but I don't want to parachute off the lake when planing out. Am I better off having someone make new fabric for what I've got? Or pick one out of a catalog?
Again, probably same scheme with white replacing pink..
The boat has quite enough pink in it :o

Custome Canvas in Monclair is aswesome. He aint cheap but he does great work. i got my Bimini there and its solid and it looks really good with my boat
-
You can't remove the pink... It pulls everything together. And I'd say go to a custom place, my parents have a larger Bimini on there boat that they got custom made.

Starting to rock and roll on the carpentry end of things and saving some cost in the things I can do.
Goal is to have all new seat bottoms cut, shaped, sanded and glassed come Monday!

Took a full sheet of plywood with little scrap.
Traced, cut, shaped, routed, sanded and glassed today.
I floated each piece in a shallow tub with resin. Sanded first coat flat and thin around the edges so that staples will make it through, then thinned down the resin with acetone for the final coat.
My seat bottoms match swimsteps and floor-lockers in color and are finished like the tables at Outback Steakhouse... Just in case someone looks under the seats.

No regrets, boat is worth putting work into. Wish I woulda started this in November.
Realizing its gonna cost a bit more than new wood and vinyl, speakers are dated, head unit is tired and the equalizer is wierd.
The gauges now look their age, I think they're VDO's nothing fancy. Buddy of mine says Livorsi is the way to go.

Wait till you start trying to re-rig stuff.
Good Times.
Is there anything wrong with the upholstery itself? Or just to calm it down? From the pics it doesn't look in too bad of shape.

Seat cushions coming apart at the seams and plywood bottoms weren't the best.

I use Garzas Upholstery in El Monte. Cars and boats.

Dropped off parts to be covered this evening. Dude is one month out on lead. Glad I didn't wait any longer..
Swear to shit, I'd rather build a motor than re-upholster a boat. A simple recover of seats has turned into interior restoration. Anyway, now is the time I keep saying. Putting in the hours your standard upholstery guy would not.
Good thing I cut back on beer, resin fumes doing juuuust fine.

Henry's Upholstery in La Habra and for 1800 and price will probably go up from there.
He's done a lot of work for several customers I've done windows for, The Forty Ford/Forties Limited car club.

can't wait to see it I'm looking to redo mine but will probably hold off till nect year

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
-
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.

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

This is what shall hold thy carpeted drop in floor locker lids.

Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

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.

This is the newest, I go through a drill and impact every year. I wanted the 20v max but I have too many 18v tools and the batteries aren't interchangeable. I prob have 15 batteries from NiCad to compact lithium and by far the XRP lithium is awesome.

Yeah it needs help. Good runnin motor though, maybe some cleaning and dressy-uppy gizmos, a lot of polishing and a double pumper in the close future.
I can't believe how much I am spending already, almost every trip to Depot or Lowe's is a hundred here, hundred there.. Not gonna add up receipts.

Believe me, I know what its like to be fed up with spending the money. Its all the little things that add up in the end that kills you. Heres my complete build last year, after a new motor in 2010

I don't know but it was the same thickness as what it came original with. I would have went thicker on the floor itself but I engineered my ski lockers to work with the thin.
It sure does feel nice on bare feet with no teak lockers. I stood on one of the old stainless hinges last summer, since then I have held a grudge to anything metal on my floor.

Oh the stories my old Horizon could tell. Back to Back bench seats are great from a variety of angles, and the river around Water Wheel is usually real quiet. I'm trying hard to get my buddy to bring the old boat out of retirement. I think y'all will see it at least once this summer. :thumbup:

When they see how much pink paint is on this boat, they will never harass you ever again. 90% Pepto Bismol pink with just a little Ford blue thrown in around the outside. It was supposed to be Rasberry. :banghead:

Please, bring it out. Hahahaha

Think I only got one more hairbrain idea before I put side panels on and bury everything and that is to run some 2" schedule 40 or black ABS drain line in the sides of the boat above the tanks as a wire chase. I've tried running wirezz for various shit from engina compartment to my dash and its an all day affair to get 4 wires through there.
If a guy has a decent rat tunnel, I could run my fish tape through it and pull anything through.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
-
2nd thought, that's a stupid idea. Not gonna re run all wiring that's existing.
But looking under the dash, she needs about a day's worth of tidying up and a bunch of zip ties.

Ha, I've thought about re-running the disaster of a wiring job in my boat too... But shit, that would take fooooorever.

Got my bow back and installed today. Upholstery is coming along very well. I've given the guy grief and made him fix things but when she's done its going to be very nice. His shop is very capable of quality work, I just wish it wasn't pushed to last minute.
