I picked up this boat last winter and the upholstery was crap. It was a five seater with a crappy ice chest in the center of the back seats, i did not like it at all.The wood was rotten so, i redid the wood and turned the back seat into a bench, water sealed the wood, then dropped them off to get upholstered it was only 400.00 bucks great deal. i ordered new black carpet online and put the new carpet in myself. i called up Tom from  JBP and got a new steering cable, and new gauges . The gas tanks i sanded and buffed out, put a new steering wheel on it, so now i just have to clean up the engine  more and its going to be ready to go for summer. I must say Tom at JBP was a big help when i ordered the parts, and his prices are unbeatable.

The seat looks good. I am building a back to back bench for my cruiser this spring. Where in central CA are you located, and who did our upholstery?

i'm located in porterville 1 hour from clovis. i got the seats done at a shop here in town, the guy has great prices and does great work. I shopped around and everybody else wanted 850.00 to 1000.00 to do them.

Porterbilly huh? Welcome to the site, I'm in Bakersfield, if Lake Success ever had any water in it I'd head up that way, maybe next year!

yeah the great town of porterville. yeah are lake sucks they always drain it right in the  middle of summer! Now it dont even have a marina!  The owner took it to a different lake because  of that reason not making any money! but when it has water  its nice only ten min from my house. Yeah i worked in Bakersfield for the last 5 years for a elecrticial company Spring Mountain Industries. Now i work around here.
