Title: Vinyl upholstery
Post by: GAWnCA on August 04, 2007, 03:36:51 AM: Count me as a newbie jet boats, or wanna be. I'm still shopping. But I do have a question about vinyl upholstery. Most all the boats I've looked at, the upholstery is very dry and ready for an upholstery job, but I would rather do that in the winter. Does anyone know of something I can apply that might bring back a little life to the old vinyl to get me through, what's left of summer? or is there no hope? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

As my handle indicates, I joined this forum as a "wanabe"; before the first month was out I had a boat, thanks to help from folks on this site (it's a project but now running).
