Post by: beerjet on October 17, 2007, 10:31:23 PM: I got it done by A-1 canvas in upland CA. (Cool little story about him) Last time I checked he was alone in the shop and kind of stiffed someone I recommened . Everytime I call him he's super busy but he has always done great work for me . He also did the bimini on my Hallett and did a kick ass job on that too. Both in stainless since he charges $100 more for it and I dont have to worry about broken ends like the cast aluminum stuff .

Here's the interior that used to be in my boat that he also did.

Flytime put up some pics of the Hallett with the top up in the pyramid lake thread that turned into the castaic thread .

Post by: beerjet on October 18, 2007, 06:05:05 PM: The original interior was typical buckets in front with the attached cocktail seating and a small pully cover in dark blue and diamond stitch . I dont like rotting wood so everything is removable and the seats are fiberglass . I also thought the pearl white was a nice touch . That guy did really good work and I've seen others and I just think to myself how much tighter and symetrical mine looks . Then again nobodies perfect.

Post by: Johnny on October 18, 2007, 07:04:01 PM: Thanks Beerjet, I'll take your advise and have one custom made for my boat. How much should did you pay for yours? Just trying to get a ballpark figure so I know how much of Jr's college fund is going to be missing.
