Interior / Basic Upholstery upgrade needed

« on: April 28, 2019, 04:57:30 PM »

I’m sure it’s been posted a million times but I’m super busy and can’t sort through all the posts. I’m looking for someone who can upgrade my upholstery in a 1988 commander open bow boat. I’m not looking for fancy, just new. The vinyl is cracked and peeling. Please send suggestions of someone who is fair priced. This is not a necessity for me but more of a want. I have a kid on the way so go easy on me! Thank you for suggestions and your time!

Does anyone know a good place to buy carpet for my boat? I don't need anything crazy expensive.

WarZone / Buying an 88 commander

So I'm curious. This boat has a good gel coat, Good interior, rebuilt Berkley pump with hydraulic place diverter and it's an open bow 21'. The engine is a 454 BBC and it's been tuned. All the hydraulic lines have been replaced as well as as drive and pump lines. The guy is asking $7500. Is that a good price for the boat or am I being ripped off?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 455 Olds vs 454 Chevy

« on: February 26, 2017, 08:55:30 AM »

I'm currently buying a boat with a 454 Chevy in it but I have a rebuilt 455 Olds sitting in my garage. Which engine is better for towing skiers? I feel like the 454 is better only because parts are easier to come by and cheaper but the 455 has more workhorse power. Should I leave the 454 in the boat or replace with my 455? Thoughts? Oh and it's a 21' open bow commander boat.

Looking for a decent hull. My dream hull would be an open bow but I'm also not looking to spend a fortune. I am looking for a decent floor (not soft or completely rotten) and upholstery if possible. I have power so no motor necessary. Thanks!
